Randolph Community College will be converting its JobsNOW programs into Occupational Extension certificate courses beginning in January. They will include courses in Electrician Assistant, HVAC, Hospitality and Tourism, and Administrative Assistant.
Elizabeth Kremer, director of occupational extension for RCC, said that instructional hours have been added to all the programs to increase the employability of the graduates. Funding for the JobsNOW program, which came from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), ends this month.
Human Resources Development Career Exploration courses have been scheduled for people who are unsure what training area they might be interested in. Fees for the Career Exploration courses are waived for individuals who are unemployed, have received notification of pending layoff or who meet income requirements. The Career Exploration courses, which include Hospitality and Tourism Career Exploration, Electrical/HVAC Career Exploration, and Administrative Assistant Career Exploration, will be held from 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m., Monday-Friday, Jan. 24-28, on the Asheboro Campus.
The certificate program courses are scheduled to begin at the end of January.
