Learn As You Earn Program
If you provide community, family, workplace, educational, speech-language, or respite support to children or adults who experience disabilities; or are thinking of a career in disability services; then you should consider enrolling in our distance delivered college courses. You engage with other students from all over the state by audioconference or online during class, one evening a week. Learn As You Earn courses are in the Prince William Sound Community College catalog online at www.pwscc.edu and lead to an Associate Degree in Disability Services.
