Preparing Adults for College and Career Transitions (PACCT)
Preparing Adults for College and Career Transitions (PACCT) is a FREE, fast-paced, intensive academic program that focuses on math, reading, writing, and college readiness skills. Through the guided support of peers, instructors, and mentors, PACCT transitions adults to higher education and new careers by helping students:
- Acquire skills necessary for long-term college and career success.
- Prepare for college placement exams and coursework.

- Become part of a community of learners that will continue to college.
In addition to the above, PACCT participants will:
