Everybody In Path to Reconnect for Individuals Without High School Diploma

The Reconnect Everybody In pathway will expand eligibility of the transformational Reconnect program to include adults 18 and over without a high school diploma or its recognized equivalent. The funding would support enrollment in a state-approved adult education program to earn a high school diploma or equivalent, and concurrent enrollment at a community college or a state-approved training program on Michigan Training Connect (MiTC). It would advance efforts to achieve the Sixty by 30 goal by reengaging adult learners and putting them on a pathway to a college degree or industry-recognized certificate valued by employers. Target groups that would be most impacted by the Reconnect Everybody In pathway include minorities, English language learners, working adults in low-paying jobs, returning citizens and adults living in rural areas of the state.
