OPPORTUNITIES! Every opportunity you take moves you closer to your long-term goals. We identify opportunities by observing our surrounding signals and listening to others. Once you learn how to recognize an opportunity, you simply need to take the risk and seize it. Francis Bacon, an English philosopher and statesman, said: “A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds.”
The Adult Education Department of Chesapeake College can offer you many opportunities! Our Registration Team can help you get started!
