The comprehensive list of courses offers basic and specialized skills training.
Fort Lauderdale, FL (May 12, 2020) – There is good news for residents looking to enhance their skills this summer as Broward College has launched a series of free Workforce Education Non-Credit programs. The courses, varying from self-development to specialized training, are intended to support those looking to develop new skills as they navigate uncertainty as a result of COVID-19. The courses provide job seekers and employees with cost-effective ways to improve their knowledge and prepare for career advancements.
“As we move into a new dynamic world of work, Broward College serves as a one-stop workforce resource for the community,” said Dr. Mildred Coyne, senior vice president of Workforce Education and Innovation at Broward College. “These short skills programs will help individuals reinvent and equip themselves during this crisis to emerge strong and competitive.”
The courses are self-paced and can be completed in one month, but participants will have up to three months, allowing them to move at their preferred speed. Classes have a final exam, and upon completion, participants receive a certificate of skill, and in some cases, an industry certification. Most of the courses are open access and available to everyone, including recent high school graduates. The price for the Open Access and Retail course certificates is usually $199, while the average cost of Broward UP courses is $499.
An overview of the main courses is below:
