LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The Lake County Office of Education will offer two August workshops for those who need to improve their skills in math, reading and writing.

The workshops will be offered from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 10, and Saturday, Aug. 17, at the Clearlake Community School, 6945 Old Highway 53 in Clearlake.

The cost of the one day workshop is $50 and includes enrollment in the computer lab for the remainder of the month of August.

The workshops are open to all adults and high school students.

Space is limited to 15 students per workshop. To allow for maximum participation, community members are asked to only attend one of the dates.

Registration papers are available at the Clearlake Community School, Lake County Office of Education and at www.lakecoe.org .

Whether you need to improve your skills for an upcoming test like the GED, ACCUPLACER and SAT or you just need to improve your basic skills for employment, the workshops will assess your strengths and develop a plan to improve your weaknesses.

Students will take a preassessment that fits their need, learn test taking strategies, develop an individual plan of action for improving their score and receive a month of full access to the computer lab in Clearlake.

Exams such as the GED will be changing come January 2014. Students who have already begun by taking a portion of the battery must complete the process by the end of December or their scores will become invalid.

These workshops will allow students such as those currently attempting the GED to access the information needed to be successful. Regardless of what exam or job you are preparing for, there are resources to help.

This event is hosted by the Career Technical Education and College Going-Initiative Department of the Lake County Office of Education.
