The Ready to Work program at ACTC has been an invaluable resource. The office provides numerous services to its students including work study job placement, counseling, tutoring services, references to employers, and workshops and seminars to help you prepare for different aspects of your employment and personal life. The staff have always treated me with the greatest respect and helped me with anything that I may have needed. They are also very helpful in finding community resources. The first meeting I had with the counselor in Ready to Work is one of the big things that led me to returning to school. When he looked at my pre-test scores, he really inspired me to go for it. He boosted my confidence in myself when I was still having doubts about going back to school “at my age.”.I am thankful for it because this has been a great experience in my life, and now I’m a college graduate and nothing will ever be the same.
