| A Brief History of GED Achievement | |
|
Early directors and associates of GED Achievement played key roles in bringing the GED to Ontario in 1996. Once the GED arrived, they spent hundreds of hours raising awareness about the value of this credential for both the corporate and public communities. They presented the new High School Equivalency program to more than five hundred employers and human resources professionals, and partnered with school boards through continuing education and guidance staff. GED Achievement was instrumental in ensuring that the GED was an integral part of the LEAP program for young sole-support mothers on social assistance, and later with the Ontario Works clientele. |
