Ivy Tech Community College is sponsoring a “Return 2 Learn” event Thursday, March 31, at the Walton Public Library in Walton. The event is aimed at encouraging area residents to continue their education, no matter where they are in their pursuit, and to offer the information and resources they need to get back on track.
The event is scheduled from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. in the Walton Public Library. Area high school seniors and their parents are invited to attend, along with adults who are wanting to either complete their high school equivalency or pursue a college degree.
Participating agencies, and their areas of interest, include the following:
· Ivy Tech Community College Logansport – certificates, technical certificates and associate degrees
· Trine University – bachelor’s and master’s degrees
· Logansport Community School Corporation Adult Learning Center – HSE (high school equivalency/formerly known as GED) and ESL (English as a Second Language)
· WorkOne Center – information on educational funding opportunities through the Indiana Department of Workforce Development
· The Bridge Immigrant Connection – legal services and translation services for immigrants, as well as serving as a central resource center for immigrant needs through the Bridge Community Church in Logansport
· Upgrades Training Center – an approved Indiana Department of Workforce Development training provider in Logansport
Ivy Tech and Trine representatives will be focusing on the importance of higher education, with information on various degree programs and the enrollment process as well as options for financing higher education that make going to college more feasible for working adults and parents. It’s a topic Indiana state leaders are focusing on in the recently announced “You Can. Go Back” campaign.
