Your Place students complete class at Georgetown 

The "Your Place" for the Adult Learner Program assists individuals-in-transition, single-pregnant women, displaced homemakers, and single parents, men and women, in building self-esteem and achieving their goals of attaining education and/or employment for the betterment of their families and society as a whole.  

Are you someone who has been employed and recently lost a job or a homemaker but now must support your family because of divorce, separation, death of a spouse, unemployed or  underemployed spouse, or single parenthood?  

Sue Evans, Executive Director of the "Your Place" for the Adult Learner Program, is very excited to announce that the classes will be offered again at the Adams Brown Community Action Program (ABCAP) Building in Georgetown, Ohio, beginning Jan. 4, 2011 and ending Feb. 10, 2011.  

Sue Evans, Seaman, Ohio, is the Facilitator and Executive Director, and Patty Short, Sardinia, Ohio, is the Office/Resource Manager. Patty is a Chemical Dependency Major and will be graduating in June. The first class began on Nov. 9, 2010, and ended Dec. 21, 2010 with nine completers.

The next FREE, 6-week, class will begin Tuesday, January 4, 2011 at the ABCAP building in Georgetown at 406 West Plum Street, across from the HEAP Office. The class will operate Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with an hour lunch break.  Upon successful completion, participants will receive a Certificate of Completion and a support group; many make friends they keep for a lifetime. Completers return after many years for an updated resume and help in securing a different job or applying for an opening

within their company. The Program operates under the umbrella of Southern Ohio Center of Excellence (SOCOE), an organization that serves five counties, Adams, Brown, Clinton, Fayette, and Highland.

Brenda N. Martin is the Executive Director of SOCOE.

Sue Evans, Executive Director of "Your Place" for the Adult Learner Program, has served the needs of individuals in transition, displaced homemakers, single parents, and single-pregnant women for over 21 years. The transitional skills class emphasizes self-esteem, goal setting, decision making, communication skills, stress and time management, career and college search, assistance with applying for financial aid, and much more. 

The class meets two days a week for six weeks and completes an Individual Career Plan including three long- or short-term goals for the future. Through completion of the class, participants complete a missio n statement and decide on their road to success. Many continue toward achieving a degree, starting a small business, and/or secure gainful employment.

"Your Place" assists individuals in making the transition from homemaker to wage earner through acquiring marketable skills. Participants are assisted in adjusting to new life situations and given the tools to obtain additional training for career development in order to become economically self-sufficient. By providing support with barriers faced in pursuing

additional education to secure a higher-paying job, participants can have a greater chance of succeeding in their educational pursuit.
