For many of our customers, education is needed to help them move onto their next step. Our individualized approach to learning allows customers to come up with the best possible learning plan for their needs. TC Futures Case Managers provide one-on-one support, and help customers set goals that will help them pass all four subject areas in a timely manner. Benefits to the program include the following:

  • TC Futures uses an online platform that can be used at the TC Futures Center or from a personal computer at home.
  • The online platform uses an assessment to determine what areas you already know, so that you aren’t spending time in subject areas in which you are already proficient.
  • The online platform monitors progress so that you know when you are ready to take your tests.
  • You can focus on one subject area at a time, rather than trying to learn all areas at once.
  • You decide what days and times work best for you. We are open 9 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday.
  • TC Futures is a Pearson GED Testing site, which means you can take the GED test on site when you’re ready.

The TC Futures GED program supports youth ages 16-24 years old in obtaining their GEDs with an online program accessible 24/7. Our program helps students build the skills necessary to pass each GED subject test, and we pay for our students' testing fees. Our GED students also have access to our center Monday-Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM, where we provide laptops, headphones, and a comfortable work environment with a supportive staff. Students are able to work to their schedules, and our center allows for individualized and independent study. Each student has a case manager who checks in with them regularly and helps guide them through the GED process as well as helping plan for their post GED goals.
