Human Resources Development

The HRD program serves adults who are unemployed or under-employed and assists them in preparing for jobs, finding jobs, and developing job retention skills. Training focuses on employability skills such as job readiness, interpersonal skills, motivation, goal setting, communication, and career assessment.

There is no charge for HRD courses if the individual enrolling is:

1. unemployed;
2. working and has received notification of a pending layoff;
3. working and is eligible for the Federal Earned Income Tax Credit (FEITC);
4. working and earning wages at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty guidelines.

Individuals for whom tuition and fees are waived must sign a form adopted by the State Board of Community Colleges verifying that they meet one of these criteria.
