The Center for Adult Transition (CAT)

The Center for Adult Transition (CAT) believes everyone deserves purposeful academic and workforce opportunities in which one feels productive and prospers. Our mission is to inspire those developmentally and intellectually challenged to transition into an academic certificate or degree program, independent living, or the workforce. We will create and illuminate opportunities for HCCC’s CAT students that advance social equity, environmental stewardship, and economic success into adulthood.

ACCESS Program

The Accessible College and Continuing Education for Student Success (ACCESS) Program is a ten-week pre-college/workforce transitional program based on a differential learning structure. The courses will teach Fundamental Life Skills/Student Success, Work Readiness, and Computer Literacy (Microsoft Word and Excel Training).

Program Eligibility:

  • NJ State Resident.
  • Must be between the ages of 17-24.
  • Must be diagnosed with an intellectual or developmental disability. (Documentation required)
  • The applicant must possess adequate emotional and independent stability to fully engage in all aspects of the program coursework and campus environment.
