A.B.L.E. program encourages community to ‘Gift Yourself’

Posted by Kelsey Giesler

Tuesday, November 27, 2012

The A.B.L.E and GED program at Ohio Hi-Point Career Center has recently launched the next initiative to spread the word about the urgency of enrolling in GED courses.

New changes are coming to the GED tests in January of 2014, including an increase in costs and a computer-based test.

The new ABLE campaign, called Gift Yourself, is used to encourage community members to give themselves the gift of education and a better outlook on jobs and career options.

The ABLE and GED classes are free of charge and topics include: reviewing and preparing for the GED, COMPASS and ASVAB tests, preparing to enter college at a higher level and to gain the qualification for a better job.

Classes begin the week of December 3, 2012 in Bellefontaine, Russells Point, Marysville, Kenton and Urbana. Those taking advantage of the ABLE classes will have the chance to win gift cards and a “Success Pack” with items to prepare for GED or college placement tests.

Friday, November 16, 2012

Ohio Hi-Point welcomed over 500 people to the Career Center’s 5th Annual Taste of the Future yesterday evening at OHP’s main campus in Bellefontaine and raised nearly $1,000 for student scholarships.

Eleven colleges and eight restaurants were featured in addition to OHP’s 20 program labs.

Funds that were raised from tasting tickets used to sample restaurant menu items directly benefited the scholarship fund. Restaurants that offered menu samples were Sweet Aromas Coffee, Donatos, Whitmore House, Sloan Inn, Lee’s Famous Recipe Chicken, Chattan Loch, Jolene’s Cozy Café and Black Tie Café.

Colleges that participated were Clark State Community College, ITT Technical Institute, Hocking College, OSU Lima, Rhodes State Community College, Columbus State Community College, Urbana University, WyoTech, Owens Community College, Ohio Technical College and Power Sport Institute.

Other vendors included some of OHP’s Satellite programs such as the student-run e-store, an OHP clothing and accessory store that is run by current Supply Chain Management students in Urbana, Aviation at Grimes Airfield and Teaching Professions in Marysville. Profits from the e-store also directly benefit the scholarship fund.

Hi-Point showcased main campus programs while also providing information about Adult Education, Customized Training for Businesses, ABLE and G.E.D.

Jason Kish Photography took photos for the evening while WPKO provided an on-site broadcast of the event.
