We have had hundreds of Reconnect graduates each year and they say the same thing: it's a great opportunity to pursue a new career path or bolster your career skills without going into debt.
The fall semester is the start of a college career for many students. Volunteer State Community College at Livingston has many areas of study for students to choose. There is a new program starting this fall designed for students who work during the day. Vol State offers evening classes, but this new program sets up a pathway for evening students to get their degree in two years by taking classes two evenings a week.
