Nine Star Offers Training in Lifelong Skills

Contributed by Shawna Mobley-Murray


I enjoyed creating an ad for Nine Star Education and Employment Services regarding a Keyboarding class that is starting soon. I find myself naturally thinking up scripts for radio advertising, print advertising, and social media. The thing is, my job is as an instructor. I just can't help myself. This organization is very special to me, one that is easy to want to promote and share what they are doing for the community.

For example, ONE price of $40 can enroll a student in any and ALL classes. Our quarters go on for approximately nine weeks. So, for nine weeks, an adult learner can go to school for seven hours a day to brush up on their education or to learn new skills. On the other hand, if an adult learner wants to just go to one class, $40 covers that. If a student cannot afford $40, vouchers are available.
Due to a grant that helps make all this possible, all learners have to take a TABE test in both math and reading to join classes. This is covered under the $40 fee. Jessica, our Program Assistant, will schedule this before the first class.

Anyone who is not currently enrolled in high school is eligible to enroll.  Keyboarding is one of a number of classes being offered (both in-person and online) at Nine Star this quarter. GED prep classes include Writing, Reading, Math, Science, and Social Studies, but English Language Learner classes are also available as well as Intro to Office Skills and Technology, and Veterinary Assistant.

Ages 16-116 are welcome.  If interested, call or email the Nine Star office:  907-373-7833, matsuadulted@ninestar.org
