IU 13 recognizes learning does not stop when a person becomes an adult. These individuals may seek support in completing a General Educational Development (GED) program, learning English as a second language, or enhancing their literacy skills to support their child’s educational experience. IU 13 supports these adult learners through an array of services provided at convenient times and locations in Lancaster and Lebanon counties.

To enhance the Adult Education experience, IU 13 partners with several organizations in Lancaster and Lebanon counties, including the local CareerLink Centers, the Workforce Investment Board, and the Literacy Council of Lancaster-Lebanon.
