The beginning of College Courses
The original STEP program included a series of English, math and science classes offered as a multi-semester package to prepare students for entry into nursing and allied health training programs. Students proceeded through classes as part of a casual cohort, and receive tutoring and introductory bridge classes before taking each science course. In its current form, College Courses continues to work with a large number of local community colleges who offer prerequisite and General Education courses, while the Education Fund supports participating learners via career counseling, financial assistance, academic support and online learning preparation.
