A Message from Our Director
Welcome to Wayne Township Adult Education
Where Lives Take Flight.
Every remarkable journey begins with someone believing that more is possible.
Christy McIntyre-Gray, MSW
Director, Wayne Township Adult Education
Sometimes it is a student finding the courage to return to school. An employer recognizing untapped talent. Or an educator seeing possibilities in someone before they can see them for themselves.
“
At Wayne Township Adult Education (WTAE), we believe in the extraordinary potential of ordinary people to accomplish remarkable things.
We call our approach Destination Education—because learning should lead somewhere meaningful.
Whether you are building language skills through English Language Learning (ELL), earning your High School Equivalency (GED/HSE), gaining industry credentials through Career Training (CT), preparing for college, or accessing credential evaluations that help internationally trained professionals transform global expertise into local opportunity, your aspirations matter here.

Our PROVE Career Coaching Model connects education with industry expectations, hands-on experience, professional credentials, and meaningful employment opportunities.
Together, GROW and PROVE create pathways to confidence, opportunity, and lasting economic mobility.
We believe the impact of education extends far beyond one individual. When an adult learns English, an entire family gains a stronger voice. When a parent earns a high school credential, children see perseverance in action. When an internationally trained professional reclaims a career, a community gains valuable expertise. And when an employer invests in developing talent, opportunity grows for everyone.

of possibility.
For our employer partners, we offer more than a pipeline of talent. We offer a partnership in building tomorrow's workforce. Together, we align education with industry needs, strengthen work-based learning, and prepare individuals ready to contribute, grow, and lead.
Grounded in nationally recognized best practices, our approach combines rigorous instruction, individualized support, accessible pathways, and meaningful connections between education and employment.
Yet our greatest strength cannot be measured by credentials, employment outcomes, or enrollment numbers alone.
It is our people.
The teacher who stays a little longer. The life coach who refuses to let a barrier end someone's story. The support professional who makes everyone feel welcome. The leader who inspires others to discover what's possible. The Student Ambassador who helps classmates believe in themselves. The employer who opens a door through mentorship and opportunity. And the student who keeps showing up, persevering, and believing their dream is within reach.
Their collective dedication has helped WTAE become one of Indiana's leading adult education programs, earning recognition as:
Indiana Department of Workforce Development Program of Excellence
City of Indianapolis Love Thy Neighbor Award nominee
U.S. Department of Education Innovation Project
for Career Training programming
We are proud of these accomplishments, but even more grateful for the people behind them. Our success comes from talented individuals sharing their gifts, challenging what is possible, and working together toward something greater.
That is the
Power of WE.
To our students
Your dreams belong here.
To our employers and community partners
Your expertise strengthens our programs, advances industry standards, and opens doors to opportunity.
To our extraordinary team
Your work matters. Your talents are valued. Your impact reaches further than you know.
Wherever you are beginning, and wherever you hope to go, we welcome you to a community that believes your next chapter can be extraordinary.
And if you hear that quiet voice telling you there is something more waiting for you, come discover what's possible.
Together, we are not simply preparing people for the future. We empower them to lead it!
Best,
