GET YOUR GED AT BCCC

• Improve Your Self-Esteem

This not only shows your level of education, it shows that you have the ability to conform to and complete a task. The responsibility of this act will make your family proud, impress employers and give you a boost in self-confidence. It may not be easy to study or maintain your commitment to the GED program, but you will thank yourself in the end.

• Open New Job Opportunities

Numerous employers including the military, labor unions and others require you to have either a high school diploma or a GED certificate. More job opportunities equal a more stable life for you and your family if you have a spouse and kids.

• Access to Continuing Education

Most trade schools, community colleges and off-job training programs require you to pass the GED test before you can benefit from their programs.  A higher education leads to better jobs, and better jobs have another benefit.

• Earn More Money

According to a 2010 study by the National Center for Education Statistics, people holding a high school diploma or a GED certificate earn more money than those that do not. The difference in the study showed an $8,000 difference between the two groups.  Even earning slightly more money can make a big difference in your quality of life.

 COMPUTER LITERACY CLASSES

There are many clear advantages to being computer literate in the 21st century.

For many people, it’s easier to find an office job that involves the use of a computer. Naturally, being able to use a computer will give you the advantage when you apply for these kinds of positions. Not only can computer literacy make you more desirable to employers for office jobs, it may allow you to find ways to work from home if you have a reliable Internet connection.

• Better Communication

A significant part of communication in the 21st century is done remotely over computer networks. Email is more convenient than traditional mail in many ways, and people who might otherwise never be able to speak to each other regularly exchange messages even though they may be on opposite sides of the world. Whether you are keeping in touch with old friends or emailing your resume to employers, communication is vital in the modern age.

• New Media

For many young people, computers are replacing television.  Teenagers are more likely to watch videos on Youtube than flip through TV channels, and services such as Netflix and Hulu allow people to watch TV shows and movies any time they want as long as they have a reliable Internet connection. People are now choosing to read the news online, and these sites can be updated instantly as stories develop. Being computer literate enough to access these sites means being able to better keep up with current events.
