        Penta Career Center’s Aspire program offers free GED test preparation and other skill enhancement classes at 16 locations in Lucas and Wood counties.
        Aspire provides adult learners with instruction that focuses on reading, math, writing, language, science and social studies to help them earn their high school equivalency/GED. Classes also help participants develop technology, workforce and career readiness skills.
        Recently, the Aspire administrative offices moved from the Penta Career Center main campus at 9301 Buck Rd. in Perrysburg Township to Penta’s satellite campus located at 1205 Corporate Drive in Holland.
        “Our new location will provide many opportunities to expand our program offerings,” said Jessica Arbuckle, supervisor of Aspire. “Adults interested in taking our free classes can begin by contacting the Aspire office to register and then attend a mandatory orientation at one of our convenient classroom locations.”
        Among local Aspire class locations in Lucas County are the East Toledo Senior Center, Oregon Branch Library, Ohio Means Jobs/Job & Family Services Building and Toledo-Lucas County Public Library. In Wood County, classes are offered at the Perrysburg Heights Community Center and the Wood County Public Library. Most classes are held two days per week for three hours each day.
        Aspire is also partnering with area employers to develop education classes that align with workplace goals to upskill employees and increase productivity. Employers interested in developing workplace education programs can contact the Aspire office for more information.
        Adults interested in more information about earning their GED through Penta’s Aspire program may call 419-491-8433 or email lromstadt@pentacc.org.
