The HC4 Program in Syracuse works in conjunction with Onondaga Community College (OCC) to help increase college success for our participants, who are 1199SEIU Union members from area Health Care facilities. Liso Smith is our Case Manager for the program.
During Spring 2017 we are recruiting students who need to take pre-requisites towards health care degrees.
At Loretto Learning Center we teach the following courses as part of the HC4 Program:
Pre-HC4:
Skill building in Reading, Writing and Math in order to take our Developmental Courses in Reading and Writing.
TUF ENG 099 and TUF RDG 093:
Developmental courses taught by Dave Brown, Training Fund instructor. TUF works with OCC wherein OCC accepts TUF transcripts for students who have passed these two non-credit bearing courses. Successful students then do not have to take the Accuplacer Reading and Writing entrance exams at OCC and can proceed on to 100 or above level courses in English and Reading, Sociology, Psychology, etc.
