Have you met Mary Ellen? You should; she has over 33 years of teaching experience and her passion is helping people achieve their goals. Mary Ellen is at our new location, 617 S. Knik Goose Bay Road Suite G, Wasilla, AK.
You may be asking yourself, “Why do I want to meet Mary Ellen?” The answer is that Mary Ellen is part of a team of people who wants to help you reach for the stars and be as successful as you can be. Mary Ellen is the lead teacher at Mat-Su Adult Basic Education and she helps students get the education they need to get the job they want.
Now you might be thinking that adult basic education or Nine Star is just for GED and ESL services. Well, you are partially right, but we offer so much more. Our services also include college placement test and ASVAB (military placement) preparation, College and Career Readiness, Career Pathways, tutoring and much more.
If I had to guess your next question, it would be, “What on earth is Career Pathways?” Career Pathways is a course that includes workforce preparation, digital literacy, critical thinking, and transitioning to post-secondary education and training. Why should you take this course? You should take this course because you are tired of looking for work and not having the necessary skill set for the job you want.
Now you are asking what Mary Ellen and the Mat-Su team can do for you. The great news is that we are just a phone call away at 907-373-7833 and we look forward to talking with you.
