The Hispanic Center of Western Michigan promotes the self-sufficiency of the adults in our community through our Adult Education & Employment Program. Our newly renovated facility is Wi-Fi enabled and provides adults in our community with public access to 6 permanent computer workstations and 12 laptops as needed throughout the day.

All of our ESL and Computer Literacy Classes are in such high demand in the community that we maintain an active waiting list throughout the year.
