Workforce Training

Customized Training

Training needs, even on the same topic, can vary within the fluid work environment of most business and industry. It is our goal to design/customize the funding and facilitation of training to fit the needs of each business. This customization may involve curriculum, training site, choice of instructors, etc. Most training occurs at the business, but classrooms, meeting rooms, and laboratories are available at the college when needed. It is the goal of our division to customize a training plan to assist an industry with any training needs that develop the job skills of the employees and improve the stability of the company. We will assist with the location of instructors when needed. These instructors can be college faculty, vendors, division staff, specialized trainers, etc. When the best trainers are found within the industry, we can reimburse the industry directly for some or all of the trainers' salaries.

Consortium Training

When a company has fewer than the required state minimum of five participants in a training area, our division attempts to locate other companies needing the same training to group them as a consortium. When the required number of trainees is achieved, the training is given to the group.

Pre-Employment Training

One of the major costs in a new business start up is employee turnover. When requested, we use a company selected curriculum to match candidates with jobs and/or orient them for future jobs. This curriculum may include topics such as work ethics, appropriate dress, job expectations, and technical skill requirements. Candidates who fail to meet such requirements as promptness, regular attendance, and cooperativeness are filtered from the program.

Safety and Health Training

Occupational safety and health training reduces employee injuries and illness, significant areas in productivity and profitability. We have instructors who can provide training at no cost in such areas as forklift operation and safety, bloodborne pathogens 1st Aid/CPR, hazard communication, ergonomics, 1st Responder, lockout/tagout, fire safety, hazardous materials, personal protective equipment, etc.

Short Term Training

Various non-credit short term classes are available to meet local demands for new and upgraded skills. These classes are open to people of all ages and skill levels. Following is a listing of typically offered courses; however, other courses will be developed and offered if there is sufficient demand. Typical courses are Emergency Medical Technician Basic, Emergency Medical Technician Refresher, Certified Nurse Assistant, Emergency Vehicle Driving Certification, Medical Billing, 1st Responder, ServSafe, Reserve Law Enforcement Officer, QuickBooks, etc.
