The Columbia Area Career Center’s Adult Learning Center (ALC) provides many activities to support non-native English speakers in improving their English language skills.
Not only does the ALC help individuals in preparing for and securing employment, but it also provides information about and referrals to community resources. The ALC promotes American citizenship through civics and language instruction, and it offers a healthy, encouraging and friendly environment to foster esteem in learning at the beginner, intermediate and advanced levels.
