I-Best

Better Skills, Better Jobs, and Better Lives

At Green River College, we help create better skills, better jobs, and better lives in our diverse community every day by offering Integrated Basic Education and Skills Training.

I-BEST classes have two instructors in the classroom: one to teach the career content and one to support their academic skills development. With this collaborative effort, students are able to learn faster and go further.
