MCC’s Corporate & Community Ed. Programs “Skill Up” Employees

Continuing education is the gateway to new and exciting opportunities. Whether just starting out or hoping to advance in a career, students of all ages, backgrounds and experiences can come to Middlesex Community College to engage in professional and personal development to enhance their lives, including MCC’s Corporate and Community Education and Training (CET) programs.

“MCC’s Corporate and Community Education and Training division is a leader of educating the workforce, meeting the demands of today while keeping a pulse on the future of employment in the Commonwealth,” said Audrey Nahabedian, MCC’s Dean of Workforce Development and Innovation. “Our courses are designed to train employees for high-demand industries that will satisfy the needs of local employers while skilling up employees seeking better opportunities.”

This Fall 2022 semester, Middlesex will feature a variety of programs – on-campus and online – to provide knowledge and skill training for high-demand industries, including health and medical, computer and Information Technology (IT), communications, management and more!

In MCC’s health and medical courses, students are prepared to sit for certification exams and enter the workforce in entry level roles with hands-on practice and training. Options include Medical Interpreting, Pharmacy Technician, and Dental Hygienist Webinars on Local Anesthesia Outcomes and Dental Radiography.

Students looking to update their computer skills can engage in a suite of computer application courses that includes Microsoft Excel, Google IT, Business Applications and Practical Computers. Upon completion of these courses, students earn a certificate that will prepare them to enter the workforce and build up their resumes.

For students looking to grow into a management role, Middlesex offers the Nonprofit Management Certificate and the SHRM Essentials for Human Resources and Certification Exam Prep courses. The certificate programs provide knowledge of key concepts that are adaptable for students to work in management in a wide range of industries.

To prepare students to improve their communications skills, MCC’s CET offers Better Workplace Communications, Effective Project Management, and Grant Writing. Students can also enroll in courses to add diverse skills to their resume, from an FAA Remote Pilot Certification to an Interior Design Certificate.

“Education is a lifelong endeavor,” Nahabedian said. “For professional or personal purposes, an education from MCC is one of the easiest and most efficient ways to improve your life.”
