OPABS (Oregon Pathways for Adult Basic Skills)

Oregon Pathways for Adult Basic Skills

If college or workforce training is your goal, OPABS is for you!

OPABS (the Oregon Pathways for Adult Basic Skills) cohort classes start every term, on the UCC Campus. 

Classes run from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. In just a few hours a day, you will be on your way to the path that leads to lifelong success.

Oregon Pathways for Adult Basic Skills is a program designed to help students prepare for both the GED exam and to enter college or training, in a 3-term curriculum.  While preparing for the GED exam, students will also work to achieve college level reading, writing, and math.  They will also learn to use the various forms of technology required for college success.  Students in OPABS participate in an evidence-based cohort model, which has strong success in assisting students to earn their GEDs and enter directly into college classes.  One cohort starts in the Fall, a second cohort starts in Winter, and a third cohort starts in Spring term.  Students should expect to attend OPABS classes for three terms, total.

OPABS coursework includes writing, math and reading, along with advising workshops and College and Career Awareness courses to guide you through the process of starting and attending college, and beginning your career.
