In light of all that’s happened this past year, we hope you’re as motivated as we are to learn more — and be more — in 2021. That’s why we’re offering a wide variety of new and returning courses this semester, as well as new staff and internship opportunities.
Our first offering of the year is the return of a popular class, How to Write A Book Proposal with author Holly Bellebuono. The following week, our Offshore Wind Technician program kicks off. Another highlight of our Winter schedule is Issues of Race, Diversity & Oppression: starting February 2nd, this is a 3-credit undergrad college course accredited by Fitchburg State University. It’s open to everyone, including dual enrollment high school students, educators, and lifelong learners alike. And if you’re an island educator, we’ve got à la carte courses just for you. Scroll down for details.
Other offerings this semester include: HiSET prep, Quickbooks Essentials, Women in Photography, First Aid & Survival in the Wilderness, CDL Class A licensing, and Medical Interpreter Training… and that’s just to name a few.
