Integrated Basic Education and Skills Training (I-BEST)
I-BEST opportunities enable students to develop both their literacy and job skills as they prepare for the workforce and continued study in college. I-BEST offerings pair a professional/technical content instructor with an adult basic education instructor to help students progress in reading, writing, and math while also training for a career. I-BEST students can work on improving their basic educational skills while also earning college-level credit. Students participating in I-BEST can receive specialized financial aid and academic support services.
YVC offers the following I-BEST opportunities:
- Agriculture
- Business Technology
- Early Childhood Education
- Information Technology
- Nursing Assistant Certification
For more information on the I-BEST programs, visit www.yvcc.edu/CCC or call 509-574-4911.
