The Portage County Literacy Coalition received a grant from the Kent Rotary Foundation for the Maplewood Career Center Aspire Program. The amount of the grant is $2,000 dollars. The grant from the Kent Rotary 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, Servsafe/restaurant, or OSHA 10/30/manufacturing.
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 PCLC and Aspire Program would like to thank the Kent Rotary 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!
If you are interested in obtaining your GED/HSE and a certification in customer service, restaurant skills, or OSHA/manufacturing, please call the Aspire office to sign up for orientation. Start your educational journey and career today by calling: (330) 235-0020.
