-Learner progress in FY2009...  (7/18/10)

READ served 308 learners total and enrolled (12 or more hours) 201 learners program-wide.

Ø  115 learners had the goal of obtaining the GED; we know of (and have reported) 40 who have done that.  That’s 35% who set the goal met the goal.  (There are also several learners who are scheduled to take - or retake - the GED test in July.)

Ø  47 learners wanted to retain employment.  26 did that we know of which is 55%.

Ø  We know of 21 learners out of 77 who met the goal of getting a job.  That’s 27%, but that stills says a lot about the state of our economy.  Jobs aren’t easy to find right now.

Ø  Finally, out of 12 learners who expressed an interest for going on to postsecondary education or training, we reported 8 who actually did (or are accepted to go).  That’s 67%.
