Arkansas Adult Learning Resource Center
About Us
We are the Adult Education Division of Arkansas Workforce Services. Since 1965, we have served more than one million adults across the state of Arkansas.
There are hundreds of Arkansas adults who lack high school diplomas and the skills and knowledge to succeed in the twenty-first century workforce. This impacts every community in Arkansas. It’s devastating to the adults who want to fulfill the American dream of a better life for themselves and their families.
MISSION STATEMENT
To provide adult learners with the tools to improve and refine their academic skills, attain the General Educational Development® Credential, and the life skills that prepare the citizen for self-sufficiency and improvement in the quality of life.

More than 7,000 students passed the General Educational Development (GED®) Tests in 2011. To them this means a better job, higher wages and being able to better support their families. For Arkansas, this means a larger workforce and economic growth.
And we do so much more than GED® preparation. We help Arkansans complete job training through our WAGE (Workforce Alliance for Growth in the Economy) program and help Arkansans improve their English language skills with English-as-a-Second Language classes.
We have one of the highest success rates in the country! Approximately 77% of all students who take the pre-test and post-test show improvement in their academic skills.
