Community Education

The primary objective of the Community Education Department is to plan and promote full use of college resources to assist individual, business, industry, and community growth through training and education. All programs are intended to enrich, strengthen, and support those who are not served by the traditional instructional activities of the College.

Based upon community interest and need, these programs help our customers upgrade their skills, increase their knowledge, learn a new hobby, advance their careers, solve problems and stimulate their minds. Courses are informal, relaxed and noncompetitive. Topics may include: computers, supervisory skills, team building, personal finance, art, music, foreign and sign language, travel, business grammar, herbs, local history and children's courses.

The Federal Mine Safety Administration requires 40 hours as a minimum number of training hours; however, individual states have the right to require more than the federal minimum, which is the case for West Virginia.
