Business Technology (I-BEST Opportunities)


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
