EVIT’s Adult Basic Education (ABE) program helps adults build the skills they need for work, college, and life. Available to students 16 and older who are not currently enrolled in high school, ABE provides flexible, supportive instruction tailored to individual goals.
 
We serve two groups of learners:
 
  • Adults seeking a High School Equivalency Diploma:
    Prepare for the Arizona High School Equivalency Diploma(GED®) with instruction in reading, writing, math, science, social studies, civics, and workforce preparedness.
  • Adults with a High School Diploma or College Degree:
    Strengthen academic skills, earn micro-credentials, and gain workforce training to stay competitive, advance in your career, or prepare for further education

Whatever your path, our program is designed to help you gain confidence, achieve your goals, and prepare for new opportunities.

Real Skills. Real Support. Real Results. Your Future, Your way.

*ABE programs are tuition-free for those who qualify. Additional funding may be available to assist with tuition for CTE courses.
