The Portage County Literacy Coalition received a grant from the Portage Foundation for the Maplewood Career Center Aspire Program. The amount of the grant is $3,500 dollars. The grant from the Portage Foundation will be used for adult students in the Aspire Program to work towards their GED/HSE while working on a certification in the area of retail/customer service or Servsafe.
This is a very exciting time for Maplewood Career Center’s Aspire Program and the possibilities of these new Workforce Classes that will be available to adults in Portage County free-of-charge. The pilot classes will open to the first 30 students interested to gain education and employment skills with a certification. The classes will start September 7, 2021.
The PCLC and Aspire Program would like to thank the Portage Foundation for collaborating with this up-and-coming project. We can’t wait to share our success stories with the Foundation in the very near future!
