What can you really do with an AA/AS degree?

The adult ed program that I used to teach in (adult ESL) was part of the continuing education division of the community college. That gave us automatic connections with various departments, and there were a number of good joint projects. Two that could be worth developing where you are were ESL versions of the Nursing Assistant program, and a program for apartment building maintenance. If you want contact information, send me a PM.

The adult ed association in your state or region probably has some resources you can take advantage of that would help you better prepare your students for good work opportunities. If no one in your agency is in contact with that type of body, ask at the community college. They may be able to direct you.

Adult ed is the best! I’m teaching college age students now, and it just isn’t the same.
