| In collaboration with the San Francisco Unified School District, we engage approximately 80 Youth per year in classes designed to elevate their scholastic abilities, teach strategies for taking tests, and offer a structured environment in which to study the required material. GED PLUS has one of the highest success rates in the City and County of San Francisco.
Pre-employment and job readiness skills are integrated into the fabric of the classes. Computer literacy and pre-employment/job readiness skills are taught to approximately 60 youth annually. A computer professional teaches Microsoft Office, Internet, Adobe, and HTML in a recently upgraded computer lab. In addition, our staff members instruct the youth in a vocational class that includes soft skills, career awareness, career exploration, career preparation, cultural awareness, and hands-on experience. The hands-on experience varies from city-funded jobs programs to subsidized work in the retail industry. Computer skills are integrated into the majority of these vocational elements.
