Now is the time to plan a new career in construction, heavy equipment operations, medical office management, welding, dental assisting, and other fields. Programs for industry certification in more than a dozen occupations begin at Great Oaks Career Campuses in August, and can be completed by June.
“We encourage people to begin the process now,” said Adult Workforce Development Director Carol Gittinger.
“Space in the programs is limited, and starting now also allows plenty of time to go through the financial aid process.”
Programs at Great Oaks lead to jobs, too.
“At our most recent graduation, more than 80 percent of our students had secured new jobs before they even walked across the stage,” said Gittinger. Great Oaks students can also earn college credit through the Ohio Transfer to Degree Guarantee.
The next information sessions are:

Thursday, Feb. 25 at 3:00 p.m.
