Workforce Development
Opening Doors
The School’s workforce
development courses provide
hands-on career training in high
demand, rapid growth industries
and are taught and guided by
industry professionals. Graduates
of these courses earn industry
standard certificates that help
them enter into family-sustaining
careers and climb career ladders.
More than 22 hours of
employability skills training,
as well as job search and job/
internship placement services,
supplement industry-specific
classroom content within each
course. The employability skills
program is tailored to meet the
unique needs of each student,
including one-on-one career
counseling and skills building as
well as group workshops, guest
speakers, and field trips.
Monthly quality meetings are
convened to evaluate student
academic progress and to
strategize how to best support
student learning and growth.
“I know 100% that I will not be
without a job. This training has
helped me know so many people and
so much information.”
