Professional Technical Education

WORKFORCE EDUCATION MISSION
In the Workforce Education Department, we strive to provide professional technical instruction for entry or re-entry into the workforce, enhancement of current skills, or college transfer. PC offers seventeen Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree programs, eleven one-year certificates and many short-term certificates. Another goal of Workforce Education is to provide basic education for educational, occupational, and personal goals. Our partnerships with business, labor, government, community organizations, and other educational institutions help us create educational opportunities for our students and enhance economic growth and development in the community.

The following list of programs will link you to more details about program offerings.



Worker Retraining Advisory Committee
The Professional and Technical Education Administrative Unit is directed by the Dean of Instruction. The college's Workforce Education Advisory Board (WRTAC) provides important community input to all components of the program. The WRTAC meets quarterly to review professional and technical training activities; make recommendations on program additions, deletions, and changes; and to review and approve the annual Worker Retraining and Perkins Plans.
