The Pikes Peak Workforce Center offers several
training programs, funded by the
Workforce Investment Act (WIA), that provide financial assistance to eligible residents of El Paso and Teller counties for training or re-training, in demand occupations.
The amount of assistance is determined by program requirements and/or your Career Consultant and is based on your individual employment plan.
PPWFC offers pre testing and referral services for the GED.

click here for exact dates.
TABE is the Test of Adult Basic Education and will determine your current skills level in reading and math. No registration is required. If you have questions, please call 719-667-3773.
3. Based on the results of the TABE test, you will be referred to take the GED Practice test at PPWFC or to GED training and testing programs in the Colorado Springs community. The TABE is administered prior to the GED Practice test because it identifies specific skill areas that need improvement which assists us in the referral and placement process.
4. A packet of community resources for GED testing and preparation is also available at the PPWFC front desk.
