Adult learning center gets grant

LUDLOW, Mass. (WWLP) - A local adult learning center is celebrating the receipt of a holiday gift.

The Verizon Foundation granted 20-thousand dollars to Holyoke Community College's Ludlow Area Adult Learning Center.   The center serves nearly 100 adult immigrant students a year needing to learn English.
According to Kermit Dunkelberg, program coordinator at the Ludlow center, the money will support programs that not only increase language proficiency, but help teach essential technology skills that  increase employment opportunities. "There are all kinds of ways in which we're enabling students to access services as well as use the technology for instructional purposes," said Dunkelberg.
