We have reached the final week of our 6 week program. Our students excelled in putting together their first cover letters and resumes. Not only have they perfected their first documents, but their English had also improved; an d some of them even improved on their reading and writing skills. Many of them had also never used a computer before, which was at times a difficult task, and was a lot to learn at once. However, since they were really willing to learn, using the computer was an exciting time for them in our program.
We have some of our students being released from the Morgantown Jail within the next couple weeks, so hopefully we will have some good news for our readers about the success that our program has brought to them.
Here at English 304 Community Education , we are hoping to extend our program throughout the years considering we believe that this will be highly successful in finding these inmates jobs ; in turn, reducing the rate of recidivism.
