WISD Adult Education Addressing Local Workforce Needs

The Weatherford ISD Adult Education Department offers classes in English as a Second Language and High School Equivalency (GED) for adults in Parker, Palo Pinto and Wise Counties. As part of an emphasis on assisting adults to develop work ready skills, students are able to pursue training for jobs in the hospitality industry. During this training, students learn about careers, practice applying and interviewing, hone their soft skills, receive instruction in industry-specific skills, and complete on-line requirements for state-recognized food handler certification (pictured) making them “job ready” to obtain employment. WISD Adult Education offers classes during the mornings and evenings at various sites across the three county region. All classes are free of charge to the participants. Please call 817-598-2806, option 4 or email to [email protected] for more details and registration information.
