Professional Skills Training
The purpose of this content is to provide easily accessible resources specific to institutional workforce directors and support staff. Professional Skills Training is defined as non-credit postsecondary courses that develop or enhance occupational, technical, and/or durable skills of individuals – whether employed, underemployed, or unemployed – to meet the needs of employers and/or increase individual opportunity in the labor market. Courses may include methods such as lecture, workshop, customized training, apprenticeship, etc. While these courses carry no institutional credit applicable toward a degree, diploma, or certificate, the competencies and skills attained through Professional Skills Training could apply toward a prior learning credit.
