The Center for Adult Transition (CAT) believes everyone deserves purposeful academic and workforce opportunities in which one feels productive and prospers. Our mission is to inspire those developmentally and intellectually challenged to transition into an academic certificate, degree program, or workforce. We will create and illuminate opportunities for Hudson County Community College's (HCCC) CAT students that advance social equity, environmental stewardship, and economic success into adulthood. The ACCESS Program is a ten-week pre-college workforce transitional program based on a differential learning structure. The courses will teach Fundamental Life Skills/Student Success, Work-readiness, and Computer Literacy (Microsoft Word and Excel Training).
