One of the strategic initiatives of San Juan College is to foster economic development. Part of that role involves not only providing the education people need to get the jobs they want, but to also provide our local businesses and organizations with the tools they need to strengthen their workforce.

For more than 16 years, San Juan College’s Center for Workforce Training has partnered with businesses to ensure that the customized training we provide is affordable, specific and relevant. We understand the importance of truly listening to our customers, utilizing time effectively and then getting to the “heart” of the training. With an enhanced focus on economic development, we are committed more than ever to help meet the demands and challenges our customers face.

Our spring 2013 classes reflect this commitment. Through the new Project Management course, you will not only learn how to effectively develop, manage and build an efficient team and budget, the program also will prepare you to earn a nationally recognized certification as a Project Management Professional.

We also provide other nationally recognized trainings such as John Maxwell’s 360° Leader training. The class will be especially beneficial for those who lead from the middle of an organization. The skills you will learn can be utilized both in the workplace and at home.

Gain personal and professional effectiveness through the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Steven Covey. This nationally recognized class will teach you how to cultivate life balance as well as how to build relationships and effective teams using dynamic collaboration skills.

In partnership with the Small Business Development Center, we will offer a two-day QuickBooks class where you can gain an edge on understanding what you need to track in your business. Learn about forms, lists and registers, entering and paying bills, creating invoices and sales receipts and much more.

Employees who work in the energy industry can update their skills or learn new ones through a variety of energy courses that include everything from an Introduction to Plunger Lift Systems to Advanced Liquid and Gas Measurement.

Whether your goal is to learn more about leadership or simply improve your computer skills, the Center for Workforce Training has just what you need. We thank you for allowing us to partner with you and hope that that you will take advantage of all we have to offer.
