Second chances, first-rate training.
Part of Penta Career Center in Perrysburg, our Adult Education division exists for one reason: to help adults across Northwest Ohio gain real skills, earn real credentials, and get back to work, fast.
Built for the adult learner, exactly as you are
Our students are parents, veterans, career-changers, second-shift workers, and folks who took a long road back to the classroom. Some are finishing what they started; some are starting fresh after a layoff or a life change. What they share is the decision to retrain and move forward. We build everything around them.
- Career-changers and people re-entering the workforce
- Adults with or without a high school diploma
- Workers leveling up for a raise or promotion
- Employers training and upskilling their teams
