KEYS Education and Employment Pathways (KEEP) Program

---

The KEYS program in collaboration with the Adult Learners' Training and Assistance (ALTA) Program are offering the opportunity to obtain High School Equivalency (or GED) while co-enrolling at Luzerne County Community College through the KEEP Program. Currently, the KEEP program is available at the following LCCC campuses: Main, Wilkes-Barre, Pittston and Scranton.

This program is for individuals who receive either SNAP or TANF benefits through their local county assistance office, do not have a high school diploma or GED, AND want to attend Luzerne County Community College to pursue a degree, certificate or diploma. This is not a GED-only program; participants are required to take an Ability To Benefit (ATB) test to determine eligibility for college co-enrollment and financial aid. Additionally, participants will complete an application to LCCC and a FAFSA application prior to starting the program. Furthermore, participants will identify a major from a pre-approved list of supported majors at the college.

Upon completion of the KEEP program, individuals will obtain their GED and be enrolled at LCCC working towards a degree. All KEEP students are eligible to receive the support services of the KEYS program.

For more information about the KEEP program, please submit a request form and a KEYS staff member will contact you.
