The Place To Be COMMUNITY PROGRAMS Adult Education (AE) is a program primarily for adults who have not completed their high school education. Free classes operate on managed enrollment. The main goal of the program is to help adults function more effectively in society, whether through completion of a high school equivalency credential (GED, TASC, HiSET), improved skill levels, or entry into the workforce. The High School Equivalency Test (HSE) provides adults the opportunity to receive a high school credential. Three versions of the test are recognized by the Mississippi Community College Board: GED, TASC, and HiSET. To take the test, an individual must meet certain eligiblity requirements, complete a test registration and pay established test fees. Test applicants cannot be enrolled in school nor required by law to attend school. The Institute for Learning in Retirement (ILR) on the Wesson campus is open to all adults who are 50 years of age and older and retired or semi-retired. The ILR is a member-governed organization based on the philosophy that older adults are eager, self-motivated learners who are capable of defining and directing their own education. Members participate in various activities including social events, classes, membership meetings, and field trips. The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) provides part-time employment for men and women 55 years of age or older who have limited incomes. SCSEP enrollees are assigned to positions that revitalize and enhance their job skills while supporting local non- profit and governmental agencies. The program is designed to promote the transition of participating enrollees into unsubsidized employment. SCSEP is funded through the United States Department of Labor and implemented through Center for Workforce Inclusion. The Billy B.
