PROGRAMS & SERVICES:
ADULT EDUCATION & LITERACY

   
OVERVIEW
""
   
 

The name Learning Works has been adopted to describe Vermont’s Adult Education and Literacy (AEL) system. Learning Works is the AEL team at the department and the direct service providers holding grants or contracts for the purpose of delivering services to adult learners statewide. Adult learners are defined as persons 16 years of age and older, not enrolled in school, and lacking essential skills or a credential equivalent to high school completion. Currently, Vermont Adult Learning holds the statewide AEL grant and in turn works in partnership with three other providers (i.e., Northeast Kingdom Learning Services, Central Vermont Adult Basic Education, and The Tutorial Center). It is this group of organizational partners that has been given responsibility, in collaboration with the department, for designing and implementing a statewide system for the provision of adult education and literacy services.

Application for High School Diploma through Military Service PDF
On occasion, the Department of Education receives requests for the statutorily-mandated application form through which a local school board must grant a diploma to a Vermont resident World War II, Korean War or Vietnam Era veteran who was honorably separated from the military, and who does not have a high school diploma. The above form, approved by the State Board of Education, meets the requirements of 16 V.S.A., § 563(25).
