Change your life at CWC!
The CWC Career Readiness Center is an approved HiSET (alternative high school diploma) preparation program and testing center in compliance with Wyoming Adult Education guidelines. We are funded through grants and CWC, allowing us to make the program free of charge. Our program focuses on preparing you not only to take and pass the HiSET; but to do so with scores that will set you up for post-secondary educational success, and get you going on a planned pathway to sustainable employment. In our program you will complete career interest testing, set a career goal, and develop a plan on how to achieve that goal. Completion of your HiSET is one of the steps on the pathway to achieving that career goal. On the way to earning your HiSET, you will complete both Financial Literacy and Computer Competency courses. You will also move into career training with CWC or complete one of our micro-credential programs. Earning your HiSET isn’t an easy road, but it’s one that can change your life in positive ways and set you on a pathway to career success.
Minimum age for the program is 16. Parents and their students should be aware that this is an Adult Education program where the student will be responsible for their own learning. We strongly encourage that if High School graduation is a possibility stick to that path, this is not an easier route. If traditional or alternative High School is no longer an option, and you are motivated to move ahead in life, come join our program.
If you are 18 and older, feel ready to take the HiSET or GED, we would encourage you to visit: hiset.org or ged.com. On their websites you will find information about taking the exams online as well as practice tests. Take a practice test or two, discover what you need to brush up on to prepare for the exam. If you would appreciate the advantage of a proven program to prepare for the exam, come join our program.
There are 5 enrollment classes each calendar year. To apply for the program please click the orange ‘online application’ box, and complete the application. (Applicants 16 and 17 must download and complete the Age Waiver form.) If you don’t have a computer at home, please free to come into any of our campus locations and someone will assist you. After completing the application you will need to take a series of placement exams. These exams are taken over a period of 2-3 days. Please plan on 1 ½ hours for your first exam, time needed for the additional exams will vary depending on how many you plan to complete in each testing session. Please be aware that your application and testing results will time out of our system in 90 days. Do not apply and/or test more than 90 days prior to the enrollment class you intend to enter. Also please note the deadlines for application and testing with each start date.
**NOTE: All applicants ages 16-17 must have a completed Age Waiver submitted before they can begin to test. Age Waivers are available at the CWC CCR offices in Riverton and Lander. They can also be downloaded from the online application.
