Workforce Training and Continuing Education

The mission of Workforce Training and Continuing Education (WTCE) is to enhance the employability of students, increase the performance and career satisfaction of employees in business and industry, and be a leader in the economic and workforce development of the surrounding communities and region. To accomplish this mission, WTCE offers an array of non-credit education and training programs to individuals and a broad range of customized training services to business and industry.

A student enrolled in Workforce Training and Continuing Education programs is a non-degree-seeking student who is taking course work for entry-level employment in the workforce, skills upgrade while employed, and/or personal enrichment. While Workforce Training students are typically not eligible for state or federal financial aid, students enrolling in select Workforce Training programs may be eligible for financial assistance through Workforce Solutions Cameron, scholarships, grants, and other financial assistance opportunities. Non-degree-seeking students may still need to be assessed for college readiness in order to meet institutional course prerequisites or for licensure purposes.

Continuing Education Units (CEU) measure completion of segments in non-credit programs. One CEU represents 10 contact hours of participation. These units are not substitutes for college credits but a means of reporting continuing education activities. TSC, as an institution accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, will award and note on a student’s transcript CEUs for all workforce-related Continuing Education courses. Many professional associations and industries require and recognize CEUs as an indication of an individual’s professional growth and development.

CEU courses completed at TSC may be eligible to have those courses applied as semester credit hours upon approval of the Vice President of Instruction and appropriate Dean. The student must complete at least six semester credit hours at TSC and request to convert non-credit hours to semester credit hours. Competencies for the continuing education courses will be compared to credit courses under the direction of the appropriate Dean and approved by the Vice President of Instruction. Applied credit will become a part of the student’s permanent record only after the student meets all other institutional and program requirements.
