Program Overview

Intermediate Unit 1 offers a variety of adult instructional programs throughout Fayette, Greene, Washington and Westmoreland counties. Adult education programs reach a cross-segment of adults from a variety of backgrounds. In general, our students study basic skills in order to obtain a high school equivalency credential (GED or HiSET), pass an entrance or skills exam that will lead to post-secondary training, gain or maintain employment that requires a review of general knowledge or specific skills, or improve English as a Second Language Skills for post-secondary schooling or employment.

Our program partners with the Literacy Council of Southwestern and Pennsylvania CareerLink Centers in each corresponding county. Funding for these classes is provided by the Adult Basic Education Direct Service Grant through the Pennsylvania Department of Education. The program is operated through funding by the Division of Adult Basic Education at the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE).
