Pathways for Degree Seekers

A-B Tech has expanded its partnership with Goodwill Industries and will offer credit-bearing classes starting in August at Goodwill’s Training Center, 1616 Patton Ave., in West Asheville.

Students can begin pursuing credit toward a college degree or diploma at the center through courses such as Intro to Computers, Expository Writing, Success and Study Skills, General Psychology, and Medical Terminology. The new location gives students more flexibility in earning college credit. A number of the classes offered at Goodwill are required for most of A-B Tech’s degree programs.

The expansion of the college’s partnership with the organization comes with the growth of Goodwill’s Workforce Development Center to more than 99,000 square feet. The new space includes nursing and hospitality training labs and skills-training classrooms, which are part of the college’s existing partnership with Goodwill. A-B Tech also partners with Goodwill in offering workforce development courses and GED preparation, while Goodwill provides job search assistance and coaching.
