Overview

These educational opportunities all have one thing in common: They will advance your skills, training and knowledge. Some are credit-bearing and applicable to degrees, while others finish with a certificate or industry credential relevant to your career. All of the courses are designed by academics at Rhode Island colleges and universities, often by the instructors who will teach the material in the classroom. Community College of Rhode Island, Rhode Island College, University of Rhode Island, New England Institute of Technology, Johnson & Wales University, and Rhode Island School of Design Continuing Education have relationships with us and their courses have ranged from basic computer skills to management training to photography and graphic arts. Some of the courses strengthen existing skills or will introduce you to specialized subjects, such as learning to speak Spanish or getting certified in OSHA regulations. Woonsocket Education Center also partners with businesses, industry associations, job placement organizations, and higher education institutions to offer a variety of courses specific to a career path or new job openings. Some are pre-employment; some are for newly hired employees. Nearly all are free for the participant. The courses change frequently so please check back if you don’t see something that meets your needs today.
