Men’s Gateway to College Project

A Free College Class Through The Men’s Center?! Are you thinking about taking college courses to help you change careers or get a good/better job? Now, through Lakeland Community College, you have a free, no-risk opportunity to “test drive” college while earning credit toward a degree or certificate.

The Men’s Gateway to College Project consists of three steps:

STEP 1
Assess your career interests. By taking John Holland’s Self-Directed Search, find out which occupations and which educational opportunities best match your personality and interests.


STEP 2
Take a free one-credit hour class (1.75 contact hours per week, for 8 weeks). You can choose from one of the following:

Essentials of Algebra (For those who need a math refresher)

Orientation to College (Everything you need to know about succeeding at college)

Psychology of Effective Study (This is a fun one!)

Introduction to Personal Computers (For the technically-hesitant)



STEP 3
This final step will help you:

• Define an academic program that is right for you

• Answer questions regarding your employability after completing that program

• Find out how much you can earn with a particular degree or certificate

 

If you are eligible to participate, The Men’s Gateway Project will cover the career assessment, $15 admission fee, the $85 course fee, and the cost of the text book. A value of up to $200!

When can you begin?
Step 1 can be scheduled anytime. The
one-credit hour classes
(Step 2) are held
in roughly 8-week intervals.
Step 3 can be
scheduled immediately after completion of
the one-credit hour class.

Who’s eligible?
Men 19 years or older who have never taken a college class. GED or high school diploma preferred, but not required. Call to find out about other eligibility requirements.

How do I find out more?
