This grant is intended to support the operating costs of the Goodwill Excel Center in Baltimore City as an approved Adult High School Pilot Program (AHSP) in the State of Maryland. The AHSP develops career pathways and equitable opportunities to ensure AHSP participants will have gained the ability to equip themselves with the skills, knowledge, and abilities necessary to pursue career pathways in high-growth industries.
The purpose of the AHSP funding is to establish an alternative method for adults who did not graduate from high school to earn a high school diploma and potentially to earn postsecondary education credits and industry-recognized certification in an environment that meets the needs of the adult learner.
