Workforce Development consists of short-term non-credit, non-degree courses and programs to meet the diverse needs of the adult community. These needs may be related to job training or the upgrading of job skills, to personal enrichment and lifelong learning or to basic literacy.
Courses are developed at the request of the general public, local industry, or community agencies. They tend to be of short duration, from one-day workshops to ten weeks or longer. Some courses may be available only in the classroom; others may be available only online via the Internet; and still others may be available in both formats. All of the courses are designed to offer quality instruction at a reasonable cost.
The overall programs under Workforce Development include Occupational Extension, Personal Enrichment, and Academic and Career Readiness (described elsewhere in the catalog). Also below is a description of the online courses offered through Workforce Development. In addition to these, Workforce Development courses include Corporate Education, which are described elsewhere in this catalog.
Information on registration procedures and fees, course repetition restrictions, and refunds may be found at the end of this section.
