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.

Workforce Education Advisory Committee
The Professional and Technical Education Administrative Unit is directed by the Vice President of Instruction. The college's Workforce Education Advisory Committee (WEAC) provides important community input to all components of the program. The WEAC 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, Tech Prep and Perkins Plans.
