Welcome to the Continuing Education & Workforce Development Department

The Continuing Education & Workforce Development Department at Hostos Community College offers educational, career, and personal development opportunities designed to address the needs of the South Bronx, Bronx, and Upper Manhattan communities. Some of our offerings are free; most are available at a reasonable cost. We offer non-credit courses and certificate programs for adults, children and teens on weekday evenings, Saturdays and Sunday. We invite you to join the thousands of others who have enjoyed the caring, family-like atmosphere and academic excellence that have made Hostos unique among community colleges. For more information, please contact us at (718) 518-6656. Email: cedu@hostos.cuny.edu.

Our Adult Learning Center is a free grant-funded program designed for people seeking to improve their reading, writing, and math abilities and/or prepare for post-secondary educational opportunities. The ABE Program offers classes in reading, math, reading in Spanish, English as a Second Language, and pre-GED/GED. The pre-GED classes are taught at a level below that of the GED. All participants can prepare for the GED program.  For more information, please call 718-518-6723.
