Need to brush up on your workplace Spanish, learn Quickbooks or get a new professional cert? Or do you just want to bake a mean pie?If you answered yes to any of those questions, the Wenatchee Valley College’s Continuing Education program is for you!Continuing education is an important part of any professional’s post-secondary training. It keeps us sharp and relevant in an increasingly complex workplace and economy.But WVC’s Continuing Education program offers more than just professional development opportunities. For example you can take music or photography lessons, get certified in wilderness first aid and even learn how to make a gingerbread house!While none of those skills will help you secure that next promotion or impress the boss, they might still come in handy…It’s WVC’s Center for Entrepreneurship that is the driving force behind the Continuing Education program. Its mission is “to create an enterprising business climate and provide the necessary support mechanisms to cultivate and grow successful small business in North Central Washington.”The center partners with regional entities like the North Central Washington Economic Development District to grow and support entrepreneurialism in our region. In fact they have a website dedicated to just that, ncwconnect.org.They put on a series of non-credited classes and workshops and classes are delivered in a variety of ways, at locations both locally and online. Since the experience is geared for busy professionals and entrepreneurs, classes are flexible and instructors will work with you so you can get the training you need on a schedule best for you.If you’re interested in learning more about Wenatchee Valley College’s Continuing Education program or the Center for Entrepreneurship, go to wvc.edu/directory/departments/conted/ and see the class schedule and online registration as well as maps and parking information for afterhours students.If you want to talk to a real live person about the program and the Center for Entrepreneurship, call Stacey Luckensmeyer at 509-682.6915 or email her at sluckensmeyer@evc.edu.If you’re on a smartphone and want to visit the website now, just scan this QR code and go directly to the website on your mobile device:
