First Literacy Grant Funded Project
Partner Program: Mujeres Unidas Avanzando (MUA)
Project Description: MUA has 45 HiSET and Pre-HSE seats funded by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) and matched by foundations. In any given year, MUA has roughly 14 HiSET attainments. However, there are a dozen or more students who have “just one more exam to go” and have separated from the program due to motivation, pregnancy, work conflicts, and/or housing issues. The goal of ¡Sí, Se Puede! (Yes, You Can!) Passing That Last HiSET Exam was to provide students with a weekly class, asynchronous practice exams, HiSET resources, motivation, and coaching to pass that last exam and obtain their HiSET certificates, ultimately leading to a next step such as college, job training, employment, and/or advanced employment.
