Educational & Career Services
“Because of the help at the Center for College & Careers, I passed my HSE and have enjoyed various work opportunities. TGCW opened me to a new future.”
Center for College & Careers
The Center for College & Careers (CCC) is at the heart of our youth and young adult programs. The CCC transforms the lives of youth and young adults (ages 13-24) so they can pursue post-secondary education or start on a career track. CCC helps participants develop skills and confidence while creating opportunities for them to have successful futures in whatever path they choose.

High School Equivalency
This FREE program offers youth and young adults (ages 16-24) the opportunity to earn a high school equivalency diploma. Offered in conjunction with Southern Westchester BOCES, a teacher helps students prepare for the HSE/TASC (which replaces the GED) by reviewing math, language arts (reading/writing), science, and social studies.
Workforce Development Academy for Youth (WDAY)
Workforce Development Academy for Youth (WDAY) is a year-round program that provides educational and employment services to eligible youth (ages 16–24) from Mount Vernon and New Rochelle.
Mount Vernon High School
