Program Description

The program is entirely free to participants and is taught by a team of instructors, including UIC College of Education graduate students and former GED program participants, who understand these learners' needs and experiences because they have been there themselves. The Center for Literacy partners with local schools, community organizations, and the UIC Neighborhood Center Initiative to envision the GED program as an educational pathway for Chicago residents to access education, connect to employment opportunities, and achieve their goals. In this way, the Center for Literacy is one very important way the College of Education and UIC shows up in Chicago neighborhoods.
