Program Description The College and Career Preparation Program at Edmonds CC provides adult students, ages 16 and older, who do not have a secondary credential, with an opportunity to earn high school equivalency by preparing for and earning a GED® certificate in a college environment. Students also have the option and support to earn short term certificates that lead to living wage jobs and higher level education and degrees while completing their GED.
