Prepare for Sustained Success
While at ATC, the clients will continue on their personal journey by exploring and pursuing their unique educational and vocational needs and goals. Clients work with their staff colleagues who assist with scheduling, accountability, attendance, resume building, skills training and private tutoring (as needed).
While enrolled at ATC, clients are able to complete their high school diploma, GED, or attend college or vocational school. Clients that need to complete his or her high school education have several options in the St. George area. Most commonly, clients attend Southwest Adult High School, located just a few blocks from the ATC clubhouse. Other options include distance learning or traditional high school. There are also a number of continuing education options including Dixie State University for a traditional college experience as well as a number of vocational schooling options.
For clients that have completed their educational goals or may not be interested in college or vocational training, colleagues work with a network of professionals in the community on job placement and/or internships. One of the benefits of St. George is that it offers the resources of a metropolitan city while also being small enough to allow for an intimate community business network for our clients depending on their career interests.
