Educational Enrichment Services (EES – pronounced “ease”) is a
Jefferson County Public Schools Transitions Program funded by
Kentucky Adult Education in partnership with Jefferson Community and
Technical College (JCTC). EES offers free refresher courses in
reading, writing, and math for those students entering college whose
entrance exam scores fall below the minimum. The partnership has
resulted in an annual savings to the students of approximately
$400,000 in tuition and higher student retention rates at the
college for students beginning their college experience as EES
participants. Classes are located at two JCTC campuses and at
Spalding University. English as a Second Language (ESL) courses are
also available in reading, grammar, and conversation at the downtown
JCTC campus. EES classes are scheduled to follow the same calendar
that JCTC and Spalding University students follow.
Besides a review of fundamentals, EES instructors embed college
success navigation tools (study strategies, campus resources,
financial aide, email, etc. Students who complete EES are better
prepared academically and personally for the transition into
developmental or credit courses. Students eligible for EES classes
score below 28 on COMPASS math, below 21 on COMPASS writing, and
below 51 on COMPASS reading.
