and professional development courses for adult learners.

“These programs are
geared to professionals looking for practical and hands on programs
that will provide them with tools that can be immediately used in
the workplace,” said Kim Rose, Division Director. “Courses will be
offered starting in November 2006 and continue throughout the year.
In addition to these excellent programs, the Division also provides
customized training including program consultation, management,
