Kentucky Office of Adult Education

​​​​​

Mission

Our mission is to work with Kentuckians to improve their quality of life through education, training, and employment so they can take care of themselves and their families and help their communities and the state's economies expand and thrive.​

Vision

Kentucky Adult Education is committed to providing academic and essential skills instruction through collaborative efforts to promote statewide lifelong learning and an attainable path to greater self-sufficiency. 

 

How does it work?

Kentucky Adult Education (KYAE) provides free adult education services consisting of GED® preparation classes, family literacy services, certification in job-related skills to increase employability and productivity, college preparation, and English as a second language (ESL) in all 120 counties.

​​​Through KYAE, Kentuckians can gain reading, math, and communications skills that place them on a path to higher education and training and earn certifications to advance in their careers.​
