Increasing Literacy Levels for At-Risk Youth in College-Connected Programs

About this grant

This grant will enable Mott Community College to pilot a remedial/refresher course entitled Literacy Initiative: Increasing Literacy Levels for At-Risk Youth in College-Connected Programs, which is designed to assist students in meeting the eligibility requirements for job training, high school diploma, GED, and/or postsecondary education programs. Through an intensive and short-term boot camp-style course, Mott Community College will increase students’ math, reading, computer, and communications skills up to program levels and workplace standards. Recommended support will enable Mott Community College to combine technology and instructional techniques designed to match the learning style and interests of the learners to engage students in intensive learning situations that will accelerate learning rates, boost basic skills, and improve academic habits and employability skills.
