DID YOU KNOW? Adult career training programs leading to industry credentials in fields such as construction & plumbing often lead to jobs with higher earnings. Tuition-based career training programs for adults are offered at campuses like Adult Education at EVIT and Adult Education at West-MEC.

Achieve60AZ Project Manager Christine Thompson shares the latest on our efforts to increase certificate and degree completion in Arizona:
"Increasing the number of Arizonans who earn credentials beyond high school will create a highly skilled and diversified workforce that will energize our economy to compete nationally and globally. An energized economy will attract more businesses to our state, increase the tax base, and decrease poverty."
