Ozarks Technical Community College is accepting enrollment for its free Adult Education and Literacy (AEL) classes held at several locations in Springfield.
The classes help adults prepare for the High School Equivalency (HSE) exam, learn English as a second language or improve their reading, math and writing skills. To be considered for the AEL program, participants must be at least 17 years old and not enrolled in high school. Due to limited seating, early enrollment is encouraged.
AEL classes at the OTC Springfield Campus are offered in Graff Hall, room 221, which is located at 725 E. Bob Barker Blvd.
Enrollment dates and class times are listed below:
- Daytime enrollment is held every Monday at 12:45 p.m.
- Evening enrollment is held every Tuesday at 5:15 p.m.
- Classes are offered Monday through Thursday between the hours of 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., and on Friday between 8 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.
OTC’s AEL classes are also offered at The Dream Center and the Missouri Job Center – Ozark Region. Call 417-447-8860 for enrollment dates and class times at these locations.
“Our AEL program is a great option for those who are looking to take that first step toward a better life and more rewarding career,” said Ramona George, college director of AEL. “We’re ready and eager to help these individuals jumpstart their education.”
