What is Workforce Development and Continuing Education?
The Workforce Development and Continuing Education division offers a range of short-term licensure and certificate training programs and courses tailored to meet the needs of Connecticut residents and businesses. These programs, known for their high quality, cater to individuals re-entering the workforce or aiming to acquire new technical skills to advance their careers.
Our intensive non-credit training covers various career industries, including business, healthcare, hospitality, information technology, manufacturing and social services, providing ample opportunities for career progression. Many of these programs also prepare individuals to pursue industry credential examinations.
Additionally, we provide continuing education opportunities for those seeking lifelong enrichment on a diverse array of topics, such as English for speakers of other languages, gardening, fine arts, culture and history.
Furthermore, we collaborate with numerous companies and government agencies to deliver customized training programs tailored to the specific needs of their employees. These classes can be conducted onsite, online or at campus locations across Connecticut, ensuring accessibility and flexibility.
As the needs of businesses and communities evolve, so do our programs. By exploring our comprehensive range of programs and services, we are confident that you will discover opportunities that align with your goals and aspirations.
