“EES/Transition to Postsecondary Education"

Educational Enrichment Services (EES – pronounced “ease”) is a Jefferson County Public Schools Transitions Program funded by Kentucky Adult Education in partnership with Jefferson Community and Technical College (JCTC).  EES offers free refresher courses in reading, writing, and math for those students entering college whose entrance exam scores fall below the minimum.  The partnership has resulted in an annual savings to the students of approximately $450,000 in tuition and higher student retention rates at the college for students beginning their college experience as EES participants.  Classes are located at two JCTC campuses.  English as a Second Language (ESL) courses are also available at the downtown JCTC campus. EES classes are scheduled to follow the same calendar that JCTC students follow.

Besides a review of fundamentals, EES instructors embed college knowledge (study strategies, campus resources, financial aide, email, etc.). Students who complete EES are better prepared academically and personally for the transition into developmental or credit courses.  Students eligible for EES classes score from 17 - 27 on COMPASS math, 14 - 20 on COMPASS writing, and 51 - 67 on COMPASS reading.
