(0 - 16:24) Luzerne County Community College Director for Student Support & Intervention, Melissa Wassel, joins the show to discuss two unique program opportunities for prospective and current students. She explained how each program works, offered stats as to why they were created and discussed retention and success rates. The college has long offered the KEYS (Keystone Education Yields Success) Program, bringing support, supplies and more to individuals receiving either TANF or SNAP benefits from the County Assistance Program. The goal of the program is to help individuals get an education that can help further their career - or GED, if needed, and help to end the cycle of poverty. The KEYS Program provides academic, personal and career support services. Learn more and find out if you qualify at Luzerne.edu or by emailing KEYS@Luzerne.edu. In addition, the school has also launched the AREI Program, rooted in aiding those in substance abuse recovery to find a new career path and complete their education. AREI (or AllOne Recovery Educational Institute) offers onsite certified recovery specialists, routine check-ins, career assessments and more to help those remain in recovery and finish out their education, or find a new career path altogether. Students can be in both KEYS and AREI at the same time. To learn more about AREI visit Luzerne.edu or email AREI@Luzerne.edu.
