Thirteen Graduating Students Honored by the Center For Work Education and Employment.
Written by CWEE participant and GED graduate, Shavon Garcia
On Friday, August 26th, 2011, the Center for Work Education and Employment (CWEE) honored 13 GED graduates, as well as interns and those who earned certificates in computer programs such as Microsoft Word 2010, Excel and Power Point. The continuation ceremony was held at La Alma Recreation Center. It was a beautiful and exciting day for everyone - participants, CWEE staff and family members.
The ceremony was a great celebration. Each GED graduate said a word to the audience after receiving their certificates. A nice touch in this ceremony was that the case managers gave their participants their certificate. Some individuals thought there wasn’t a chance on getting their GED before they started at CWEE. The staff is devoted to helping each participant succeed. By attending CWEE and getting that extra push from GED instructor Lois Britton, they accomplished what they thought was impossible.
CWEE had a 50% increase in participants obtaining their GED since last year. A Continuation Ceremony is held four times a year to acknowledge participants accomplishment on getting their GED, receiving computing certificates, and for completing six months of employment.
Founded in 1982, CWEE fosters personal and professional transformation for low-income single parent families through confidence building, customized skills training, and career advancement. CWEE believes that regardless of personal situations and other barriers to employment, when an appropriate level of education and support is provided, individuals can and will succeed.
