CCC Offering Free Workplace Basic Skills Courses for N.J. Employees

For the eighth straight year, Camden County College is offering free basic skills training to Garden State businesses and their employees.

Classes are delivered by CCC at no cost to employers. Instruction is available in Microsoft Office (Windows, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook); written and verbal communications, including presentation skills; customer service; supervisory skills; English as second language; workplace Spanish; and mathematics/measurement.

Employers interested in providing this training to their employees have the option of reserving dedicated classes, which would be held at their worksites or at a Camden County College location. Scheduling is flexible and can be tailored to an employer’s specific needs if there are a minimum of 10 participants. The College also offers monthly open-enrollment classes at the William G. Rohrer Center in Cherry Hill for individual employees to attend.

These courses are available thanks to Basic Skills Workforce Training Program funding from the State of New Jersey. The program was developed by the New Jersey Community College Consortium for Workforce and Economic Development in partnership with the New Jersey Business & Industry Association and the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development.

Camden County College and New Jersey’s 18 other community colleges have been offering this program since 2007. Statewide, approximately 6,700 classes have been delivered; more than 5,300 companies have been served; and over 74,300 employees have been trained.
