Learning Labs

If you’re not in a situation where it’s practical to go back to school full time, you may want to consider taking the General Educational Development (GED) test. This test is considered to be the equivalent of a high-school degree by 90% of employers. At Arapahoe/Douglas Works! we offer assistance in GED Preparation and testing at our two full service learning labs. For GED testing dates, please see below. And, once the test is done, we celebrate the hard work of our graduating students by holding a commencement ceremony. For more information on the GED visit:
