Ellsworth Adult Education Digital Literacy Volunteer Workshop (Session 1)

with Richards & Sargent

Oct

October 3rd, 2022

Free More Info

Make a difference in this digital age! The pandemic has increased dependence on technology and Ellsworth Adult Education has many people seeking individual support with digital devices (computers, smart phones, and tablets.) Almost all of these learners are functioning at a basic level. Our experience shows that computer classes are challenging as everyone has a different device, software, learning style and goal. Over the past year, we have started a Computer Cafe - designed as a computer lab of sorts - where people can come to meet individually or in small groups to learn from one another and an experienced teacher. We have found this approach to be very effective. In order to grow this program, we need volunteers to assist the instructor to provide theindividualized instruction. This is an in-person workshop.

This workshop builds on the Ellsworth Adult Education Volunteer Orientation and the Ellsworth Adult Education Tutoring Basics workshop which are prerequisites for this workshop.

CNA Plus Update (in-person)

with Annie Sargent

Oct

October 3rd, 2022

Free More Info

Ellsworth Adult & Community Education is planning a special CNA program. The details are evolving for a CNA start date in January 2023 for a program we hope will be available at no cost to students. The plan is to partner with area healthcare facilities to offer the course as a collaboration. Healthcare facilities will be involved with CNA candidates from the very beginning and the hope is that successful completion of the program will lead directly to a position with one of the healthcare facilities.

A formal admissions process will start later in the fall and will include a work readiness component that will be self-paced. Candidates ready to start a CNA program with confidence will be able to demonstrate their job readiness skills and we will work with others that need to gain knowledge and skills in the soft skills so critical for success as a healthcare worker.

During this update Annie Sargent, Career Advisor, will provide program details, support in navigating the admissions process, as well as share other CNA and health occupations options.

You will have the opportunity to complete the application packet and see materials used in the class.

Below are some documents for your review. You will receive copies at the in-person orientation session. If you'd like to receive them ahead of the session, contact us and we'll send them to you.
