The Adult Basic Skills department at CCC is offering a short training for volunteers interested in working with students one-on-one who are preparing to take the GED tests.  The training will cover basic information about the requirements needed to pass the GED tests, student needs, teaching materials and how volunteers can best help students. A caring and interested tutor not only strengthens the student’s skills, but also creates affective reinforcements that help students succeed.

All 15 of the 2017 CCC Nursing Program graduates passed their state boards on their first attempt after completing their associate degrees this past spring. Graduates of the college program take the NXLEX-RN test developed by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing to test essential knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary for safe and effective practice of nursing. In addition to the outstanding passing rate, CCC’s nursing program was ranked #1 for the “Best RN Programs in Oregon” by RegisteredNursing.org this past year.
