We are taking the next step in our journey to establish a single, unified entry point for our students and our business and industry partners, enabling all to access the College through a unified point of entry. 

With a single front door structure in place, students follow similar enrollment steps and gain equitable access to their chosen career pathway as well as access to support services such as advising, tutoring, and career services. Further, this structure will be especially helpful as it relates to our business and industry partners who have a workforce development need but are unsure which direction—credit or CCE—to pursue. Most importantly, though, a single front door structure enables us to deliver on our mission of providing students an exceptional and affordable learning experience that improves their quality of life while preparing a highly skilled workforce for the tri-county region.

The contact information provided here will help you connect directly with those who can assist with specific training program needs.
