Northwestern Michigan College in Traverse City is kicking off a new program to help adults with learning disabilities prepare for possible job opportunities.
The college’s Extended Educational Services is launching “SOAR,” which stands for skills, opportunity, achievement and reward.
SOAR is designed to provide non-credit lifelong learning opportunities to adults with learning challenges and disabilities.
But, the courses will be open to people of all abilities.
The program is offering a number of pilot classes, ranging from animal care to cooking and nutrition.
“If you need to pick up a skill and a new topic or a new subject matter, you can in and do that in a short course. It’s not just degree programming, but it’s lifelong learning,” said Extended Education Program Coordinator, Bill Queen.
There is an informational meeting on SOAR at NMC Tuesday night.
