Project Build Application

In order to help the city and state meet goals to build a highly skilled Indiana workforce, Marian University has established Project Build, an adult education outreach program.

  • Project Build provides diverse groups of adults with the educational and career training opportunities they need to (1) improve literacy and numeracy skills and (2) advance their careers.
  • The Klipsch Educators College at Marian is committed to embedding Project Build programs within some of the city's most at risk neighborhoods.

The Project Build Adult Education program offers FREE instruction to adults needing to improve their college and career readiness skills.

We Can Help You

  • Prepare for college coursework
  • Prepare for the high school equivalency diploma test
  • Earn an industry recognized certification
  • Improve skills for a better job

As a Project Build Adult Education student, you set your own goals, work at your own pace, have access to university professors, and, best of all, instruction is free.

Adult Learners can prepare for their high school equivalency examination (HiSET).

Classes We are Offering

Our Adult Education classes provide math, reading, and writing instruction free of charge to help you acquire the skills needed to earn a high school equivalency diploma, go to college, or participate in an entry-level occupational certification program.

Este curso promueve el desarrollo de habilidades de inglés como segundo idioma incluyendo la lectura, escritura, comprensión de escucha y expresión oral. El objetivo es ayudar a los hablantes no nativos de inglés a desarrollar la capacidad de interactuar con otros utilizando el idioma ingles en sus actividades diarias tanto en el hogar, el trabajo y en sus comunidades. Este programa también tiene como objetivo promover el desarrollo de las habilidades lingüísticas que los estudiantes necesaran para comenzar sus estudios académicos.

Occupational classes are free of charge.

Our Microsoft Office Specialist class (MOS) pays the cost of one-time testing sessions for Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint MOS certification exams.

We partner with employers to design and offer educational coursework to help employees advance in their jobs.
