STARTING A SECOND CAREER Vietnam Veteran Art Caple retired from a long career in the elevator industry but realized he would need a GED to get back into the job market. Art found the math test especially challenging, but passed with help from individualized tutoring sessions. After earning his GED, Art immediately enrolled in a two-year program in advanced welding. “Thanks to the Literacy Council I will get to master two career skills in one lifetime,” says Art. “What began as a struggle turned out to be fun.”
