The Nantucket Community School (NCS) is an organization with the goal to “engage strengthen and connect the community [of Nantucket]”. The NCS continually strives to improve its adult education program to better serve the community, via new courses or delivery methods. The goal of our project was to find course offerings that encompass both the desires and professional needs of NCS students, but also employers, businesses, and the community at large. Based on our background research and the findings from our surveys and interviews, we recommend that the NCS add courses in finance and QuickBooks, technology and computer skills, and professional-level foreign language, as well as continue to offer classes in CPR and First Aid, ESOL, GED, and Real Estate.
