About Adult Basic Skills
 
The adult education and literacy programs in Oregon's community colleges are an essential component of Oregon's education and workforce system. The Department of Community Colleges and Workforce Development administers federal Adult Education and Literacy funds to local providers as well as provides local programs with leadership and training in order to assure quality basic skills services for adults across Oregon. The purpose of the Adult Basic Skills Program is to assist adults in obtaining the knowledge and skills necessary for work, further education, family self-sufficiency, and community involvement. Basic skills includes reading, writing, math, speaking/listening in English, GED and Adult High School preparation, and basic computer literacy.
