Franklinton Ohio is experiencing an education crisis. The dropout rate is nearly 3x the rate of the surrounding county. Lack of a highschool diploma can limit people's ability to further their education and job opportunities. Franklinton Adult Career and Education Center (ACEC) will help address these issues by providing multiple programs to help adult students succeed and find a path that works for them. On the 1st floor of ACEC trade education rooms provide space for students to learn skills such as plumbing, electrical work, and woodworking. On the 2nd floor students can take GED prep courses and exams. These programs would help students gain the certifications they need to continue their education or build their careers.
