The College and Career Readiness Center (CCR) assists students in achieving their goals through skills instruction in English, mathematics, reading writing, and digital literacy skills. Specialized classes are available in English as a Second Language (ESL), General Educational Development (GED) preparation, and college preparation. Services are no-cost to adults over the age of 16, who are not enrolled in a K-12 program and whose basic skills fall below the 12th grade level.
English as a Second Language (ESL)
The ESL program provides students, whose first language is not English, with instruction in the English language from beginning through advanced levels.
General Skills Brush Up and GED Prep
The regional College and Career Readiness Center offers no-cost instruction to prepare students for the four GED exams. In addition, assistance is provided in the general skills that are needed for college entrance exams. Similar instruction in basic skills and GED preparation is offered in outreach centers in Bonneville, Challis, Custer, Freemont, Lemhi, Madison, and Teton counties.
Comprehensive Adult Student Assessment System (CASAS) Reading and Math Skills Tests
New students entering the College and Career Readiness program on campus or in the outreach centers will take a pre-test to identify their academic levels. There is no charge for these tests. The tests assess reading and math skills. Each student will pre-test at entrance and post-test after receiving a minimum of sixty hours (70 hours for ESL) of educational instruction. The tests show results as well as areas of strengths and areas needing work. The tests take between two-three hours.
Please call the College and Career Readiness Center for registration information at 208.535.5386 or email at ccr@cei.edu.
