About the Program
WorkReady U – Louisiana’s Adult Education Network – helps adults learn the skills needed to get a job that can support a family. We offer high school equivalency (HiSET) preparation and testing, adult literacy programs, English as a Second Language (ESL) instruction, civics education, family literacy programs, and workforce training.
Work Ready U can teach you skills needed for college or career success. Our services will help you improve your English skills, develop career skills, and increase your academic skills. If you did not finish high school, you can earn a state-issued high school equivalency diploma which you can use to advance your career or continue your education. For more information: WorkReady-U

Our College & Career Readiness programming is designed for those students who may have been out of school a while and need their knowledge updated to enter the workforce or college. It is also geared toward students who may need assistance in becoming successful before entering college.
Northwest Louisiana Technical Community College is concerned about the every-day skills that one must know to conduct their daily affairs. Financial literacy, digital literacy, health literacy and workplace ethics are just a few examples of our community education programming components. Customized community education courses and workshops can be designed to fit the needs of an organization or a community. Just reach out and we can develop a successful program together.
We understand the needs of adult learners and have made a commitment to get you into one of our career pathways. Our 5-for-6 Scholarship is available to WRU students who have a desire to enter into one of our many career pathways and earn a certification, a technical diploma or even a college degree.
Did you know that a WRU student can receive Pell funds to enter into a program?
Did you know that Pell funds are grants that do not have to be paid back?
The first step is to fill out a FAFSA at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Our staff at each campus is happy to assist you in completing your financial aid application.
Don’t think we left employers out. The WRU program works closely with Northwest Louisiana Technical Community College’s Workforce Office to provide you with Work-Ready employees. One example of how the WRU program can help employers is designing “soft skills” training for your employees. Just reach out to us and we will work with you to develop an ideal program for your company.
If you feel as if you don’t fall into any one of these categories, please reach out to your local WRU site and tell them your needs. Our knowledgeable instructors can advise you in helping you meet your educational and career goals.
I encourage you to click on each site and get to know your local contact. We are passionate about adult education in Northwest Louisiana and would be glad to speak to any organization about adult education opportunities. Remember, we are not your mom-and-pop’s adult education program: WE ARE WORKREADY U!
