Meet Aileve: EnGen Learner, Aspiring Educator
“EnGen gives you flexibility. It’s not like you have to study for two hours a day; you can do it little by little. There are some days where it’s hard for me [to find time], so on my break at work I’ll sit down and do it, even if it’s just one lesson.”
– Aileve, an aspiring educator who accessed EnGen through the Colorado VCESL program
