“Partnering with Empowered is an incredible opportunity to share the GED journey on a larger stage,” said Vicki Greene, CEO of GED Testing Service. “Millions of adults need a second chance at education, and we’re so grateful that this program allows us to amplify their stories, break down misconceptions, and showcase the true impact of earning a GED. Education isn’t just about a diploma—it’s about opening doors, building confidence, and creating brighter futures.”

In today’s evolving workforce, skills and determination matter as much as degrees. GED graduates bring resilience, adaptability, and a drive to succeed—qualities that make them valuable in any industry. Learning doesn’t stop at any age, and upskilling is the future. 

The GED credential has helped graduates like Justice Sanders. “The GED helped me become independent. After earning mine, I worked different jobs and eventually found a cybersecurity apprenticeship. That stepping stone got me into an internship, which led to my first job in the tech industry,” said Sanders.

More than 30 million adults in the U.S. don’t have a high school diploma, yet 70,000 educators stand ready to help them achieve their goals. This story highlights the importance of destigmatizing alternative educational paths and how the GED credential creates opportunities for higher education and career advancement.
