What is ABE?
Adult Basic Education (ABE) is an umbrella term that refers to a wide range of services, credit, and non-credit programs designed to help adult learners achieve their goals. These goals may include:
- Increasing education and/or certification levels;
- Gaining prerequisites for further training or employment;
- Enhancing life skills, independence and self-sufficiency; or
- Learning skills in specific areas (such as technological literacy, communication skills or portfolio development).
Any student wishing to apply for any Basic Education program must first attend an Information and Assessment Session. The session takes between 2 and 3 hours to complete. Upon completion of the session, you will be referred to the Basic Education Coordinator.
