What is Plus 50?

The Plus 50 Initiative is a project to benchmark and showcase the most current and innovative programs at community colleges that engage learners age 50 and over. Organized by the American Association of Community Colleges, the Plus 50 Initiative invests in community colleges to create or expand campus programs that engage the plus 50 student population, with a focus on workforce training and preparing for new careers.

Wayne County Community College Partners with Plus 50 Group

Wayne County Community College District has provided programs and services that will make it easier than ever for adult learners to earn credit in high demand fields such as Healthcare. We offer support and flexibility to help the students choose a course of study, scheduling classes, and apply for financial aid.

The demand for an educated workforce has never been greater! To remain competitive in the job market, many older adults are returning to school for additional training and to complete degrees or certificates that increase their earning potential. Their expanded knowledge and skills can bring added value to a business. Through the Plus 50 Encore Completion Program, Wayne County Community College District offers support and flexibility to help adults reach their goals.

Wayne County Community College District offers credit and non-credit programs.  If enrolling into credit offered courses, please refer to the college website for the admissions application.
