The Economic Development units of the college are financially self-supporting entities that provide the public affordable, current, convenient, and high quality education opportunities to promote workforce development and enhance educational, career, and personal skills. Economic Development education is designed for those seeking workforce training without the formal process normally associated with a credit program towards a degree, diploma, or certificate. Registration is much quicker and does not require transcripts. There is no form of state or federal financial aid available. In other words, Pell and HOPE do not apply towards noncredit programs for Economic Development Courses. Finally, these courses are designed to teach you what you want and need to know with as much hands-on experience in as short amount of time as possible.
