GED Prep/College Prep

For those learners who have a firm handle on basic literacy (approximately at least a 5th grade reading level), but are not quite ready to study at a high school level for their GED, we are offering FREE pre-GED instruction through a blend of virtual classroom and virtual tutoring.

 

Target Population: Disconnected youth (18+) and any adult who lacks a college degree or is unable to take college classes due to a lack of academic skill

LC Chats

We realized we needed to find a way for current ESL students to practice the language skills we were teaching. But we wanted to make sure that everyone at every level would have a place to practice that felt safe for them. We devised a completely modular, drop-in model of conversation class that works on stand-alone themes.

 

Target Population: ESL adult learners

Digital Literacy (Basic to Advanced IT Certifications)

Currently, we offer basic Digital Literacy classes, as well as workplace recognized MS and G Suite certifications, and regular, topic-specific, live trainings for real life applications.We also offer the first certification for COMP-TIA. Currently ALL courses are ONLINE ONLY. We look forward to rejoining learners for in-person classes in our office and at local libraries as soon as it is safe to do so.

Workforce Readiness

We have two programs under the banner of Workforce Development. Our LCMC @ WORK program is for companies that have employees who are high-potential but locked out of promotions because of a lack of basic academic and/or vocational skills. If you own a company and would like to have a class at your work place for FREE. Please contact gabriel@lcmcmd.org If you are a student who is looking for a job or a better job, our Ramp to a Better Workplace program offers everything from workshops to getting paired up with a mentor who will help get job-ready.
