ADULT EDUCATION

YOUR DIPLOMA IS CLOSER THAN YOU THINK!

Don't let the lack of a diploma stand in your way of a better career & a brighter future!

It's a simple concept that the more you learn, the more you can potentially earn.


Those with a high school credential can earn more than $6,000 more per year than those without one. And those with a two-year degree can earn more than $7,500 more per year than those without. 

Michigan Works! has partnered with Iosco Regional Educational Service Agency (IRESA) to offer the following free high school equivalency prep and high school completion courses.
