Adults who started college but did not complete their degrees are invited to a special program at the Georgia Perimeter College Decatur Campus.

The “Go Back, Move Ahead” Adult Learner Workshop is part of a statewide effort to encourage former students to complete their degrees. The program will be at 6 p.m., Tuesday, March 31, in the SC building, 3251 Panthersville Road, Decatur.

The free information session includes a panel of GPC representatives who will discuss and answer questions about many topics, including:

--  What it takes to be admitted

--  How to apply for financial aid

--  What to expect in a classroom

Interested adults can RSVP to gpcrec@gpc.edu or call 678-891-4129.

GPC’s program is part of a statewide campaign by Gov. Nathan Deal to encourage the more than 1 million Georgians who have completed some college to return and finish their degrees.

It is projected that by 2020, more than 60 percent of jobs in Georgia will require a college certificate or degree. Presently, however, only 42 percent of the state’s young adults have earned a college credential — creating a need for an additional 250,000 graduates.

The program provides resources for prospective students and eases the way forany Georgian who has started college to go back to school and earn a degree or certificate.

An additional “Go Back, Move Ahead” Adult Learner Workshop will be held Saturday, April 25, on GPC’s Clarkston Campus. The session will be 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. in Building CN. RSVP by April 17 to gpcrec@gpc.edu or call 678-891-4129.
