English as a Second Language
Program Overview
Carteret Community College’s English as a Second Language (ESL) program helps individuals improve their English so they can communicate more confidently at work, at home, and in the community. Students build practical skills in speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills that they can apply in real-world workplace and community settings.
The program also helps students learn about local career opportunities, job training, and other resources available through the college. Whether you want to find a better job, advance in your current career, earn a credential, or continue your education, ESL can help you take the next step.
Our goal is simple: help students improve their English, reach their career goals, and become a stronger part of the Carteret County workforce.
Program Requirements
- Students must be at least 16 years old to enroll in any class.
- Students must attend orientation.
Attendance Expectations
