Skills Development
This sequence of courses is designed to strengthen skills in writing, math, communications, and computer operations. Students will take a total of six courses with options available to meet individual interests. All of the courses are readily available to both day and evening students, and arrangements can be made to deliver courses on site at area businesses.
If students decide to pursue an associate or bachelor's degree, all of the courses can be applied. Please note that students must qualify for math, English, and computer courses, based on placement tests or completion of developmental coursework. There is no time limit on completion of the requirements, but anyone pursuing this verification of course completion must be at least 21 years old.
