Our Services

The Adult Basic Education Program provides support for students seeking to complete high school equivalency examinations, or are in need of upgrades in basic core courses (math, English, etc.). For the current academic year, TCC provides Adult Basic Education funding consideration to tribal members enrolled to Birch Creek, Nenana, and Takotna.

TCC GO focuses on providing career exploration activities and guidance for high school students. The program pays tuition for dual-credit courses (courses that meet both high school and college requirements), provides access to Pathful Explore (an online career exploration site), reimburses internet expenses and more.

Visit the TCC GO page for more information.

To better serve the TCC region, Cultural Programs is developing programming to:

  • Help connect the TCC community to heritage-strengthening activities such as Native Youth Olympics
  • Pass on traditional craft skills
  • Center cultural knowledge development through activities – potentially including theatrical performances/presentations
