After getting grocery stores to hand out fliers to shoppers at Thanksgiving and Christmas, Ogeechee Technical College has a larger outreach planned for January to promote its adult education programs, which include more than just GED classes. “We have a whole initiative planned for the month of January, but we did kind of like a mini-push during Thanksgiving and Christmas where we’re just getting the information out about the adult education and adult literacy programs at Ogeechee Tech,” said OTC Dean for Adult Education Samantha Smith. As the January campaign will emphasize, classes that can prepare students for General Educational Development tests are just one aspect of the adult education program.
