If you’re an employer and are having trouble finding the right kind of employees, we can also help you. We may have students who are already prepared to help you, or we can work with you to develop a course or a series of courses that will accomplish that goal.
Our courses in these work sectors are designed to meet the specific needs of business and industry careers in our region.
