Continuing Education and Workforce Development
Wor-Wic’s continuing education and workforce development division offers career-oriented
non-credit courses during three major terms each year, beginning in September, January
and April. Courses are designed to help students prepare for a new career, upgrade
existing skills, meet licensure, certification or continuing education requirements,
improve technical skills and provide opportunities for self-improvement.
Categories of continuing education courses include business and supervision, career
and personal enrichment, child care, computers (accounting, computer- aided design,
database management, desktop publishing, graphics and digital imaging, the Internet,
networks, operating systems, security, spreadsheets, Web page design and word processing),
floristry and landscaping, health and safety (cardiopulmonary resuscitation, certified
nursing assisting, continuing education for nurses, dental assisting, electrocardiogram
technician training, medical coding, medical office assisting, pharmacy assisting
and phlebotomy), hospitality and tourism (culinary skills, food and beverage, and
hotel and motel operations), industry, trades and manufacturing (air conditioning,
heating and refrigeration, construction, electricity, electronics, lead paint abatement,
mold remediation, sanitary technology and welding), insurance, real estate sales
and appraisal, transportation (boating certification, motorcycle safety and truck
driver training) and veterinary assistant training. Courses are offered for senior
adults, as well as gifted and talented students in grades four through nine. Many
online courses are also offered in a variety of areas.
Students can register for continuing education courses through the mail, by fax
or in person in the Workforce Development Center at the college campus in Salisbury.
The college accepts VISA, MasterCard and Discover, and businesses can be billed
for their employees who register for courses. Maryland senior adults, 60 years of
age or older, can take most continuing education courses without paying tuition,
but they must pay for any required fees and textbooks.
Schedules that list the courses being offered, course descriptions and meeting dates
are mailed to most residents of Worcester, Wicomico and Somerset counties approximately
one month prior to the scheduled starting dates of the courses. Anyone who is not
regularly receiving a schedule can call Wor-Wic's continuing education and workforce
development division at (410) 334-2815.
Class schedules are also available online.
