Job Upgrading and Preparation/Customized Training

Adults who want to upgrade skills for their present jobs or learn new skills for a different job may do so through adult education classes. Northeast offers both credit and noncredit classes for job upgrading, job preparation, and professional re-licensure. These classes are offered based on the needs of area businesses, industries, employers, and advisory committees. Through Workforce Development, the College has provided start-up training for new industries in the area, as well as employee improvement training both in-plant and on campus. Customized training courses are available to new or existing business and industries and are developed by one-on-one consultation, assessment of training needs, development of training packages, and location of grants and resources for training to help reduce or eliminate training costs for the business.

Workshops and seminars are scheduled on a regular basis with topics geared toward business and industry. These can also be scheduled at various locations with sufficient enrollment.
