Welcome
Workforce Development and Community Education
The Division of Workforce Development and Community Education offers a wide range of courses for adults, teens, children, and seniors.
In light of New York State and Westchester County state of emergency status, with guidance from state and local health officials, and in an abundance of caution, the college is closed for in-person activity until further notice. Students should utilize college services available via email or phone. We remain fluid as we respond to this evolving situation.
Due to the nature of community education and workforce development training, some noncredit classes offered through the Division of Workforce Development and Community Education have been discontinued for the remainder of the semester (or until further notice). Where possible, noncredit programs have moved to remote instruction in a variety of formats. Students who are currently enrolled in noncredit programs are being contacted with further details about the continuation of their classes for the remainder of the semester.
Here are some important things to know:
- Starting Monday, March 23, all English as a Second Language (ESL) courses offered through the English Language Institute will be offered via remote learning until further notice.
- Spring noncredit courses are canceled or discontinued unless you are notified directly by your instructor or administration. Registration for summer noncredit courses is ongoing.
- All campus events are canceled until further notice.
As part of our continuing effort to limit the spread of the coronavirus, all college locations are closed for in-person activities until further notice.
