WELCOME TO OUR NEW BUILDING! Look how far we have come since we planted our first seeds more than 10 years ago. Each of these seedlings contained a kernel of skill and knowledge that propelled our Continuing Education students to greater heights in their education and career goals. Over the years our garden has continued to blossom serving more than 11,000 adults and children per year. We began with passion, commitment and a determination to offer you, our community of learners, courses to enhance all aspects of your lives and those of your children, and to provide you with a place where you and your family can grow, succeed and achieve. A place where quality is your currency. Now as we begin our 11th year, we are proud to announce that we have moved to our very own, more spacious new building where we promise to continue to take the pulse of the labor market to insure that we provide workforce training that will place you on the cutting edge in the labor market. This fall, we will be celebrating the opening of our new space at 560 Exterior Street and the 45th anniversary of the College. Discover inside, new courses, new certificate programs, new opportunities for personal and professional growth. We invite you to review all the new certificate programs and courses we are launching this next semester. Of particular note are free workshops we will be offering throughout the semester.
