Our Mission

The mission of the Region 20 Adult & Continuing Education program is to help clients meet their academic and post-secondary training needs.  Customers can learn how to obtain a  GED® credential, explore careers, improve/obtain employability training and skills, as well as gain skills that will help them obtain better employment and/or have a greater chance of being promoted within their current employment. 
 

Adult Education staff are also available to help clients refresh reading, language, and math skills before pre-employment testing or placement testing at post-secondary institutions.  Adult education and GED® classes are offered within the Region 20 southeastern cities/counties of Chesapeake, Franklin, Isle of Wight, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Southampton, Suffolk, and Virginia Beach.
