Continuing Education and Workforce Development

The division of Continuing Education and Workforce Development, commonly referred to as adult education or lifelong learning, offers a variety of classes to enhance employment opportunities and advancement and foster personal enrichment. Aside from licensure and certification courses, most classes are grade- and exam-free.

In addition to adult education, parents and guardians can enroll their children ages 7 to 17 in our Kids on Campus program.
