Yuma, AZ (October 3, 2023) – Arizona Western College Continuing Education is offering new fast-track courses in Spanish beginning Tuesday, Oct. 10.
The non-credit courses and workshops will increase educational opportunities for Spanish speakers in Yuma County, as participants can receive a registered certification or certificate upon completion.
“Bringing more educational resources to the Yuma area is important for the future success of our city and our state. AWC Continuing ED will work to identify ways to expand educational opportunities in Yuma so more community members are able to earn a certification and succeed in an economy that demands highly skilled workers," said Reetika Dhawan, AWC Entrepreneurial College Chief Executive Officer and Vice President of Workforce & Healthcare.
In phase one, AWC Continuing ED is planning to launch “Carpinteria Basica” (Basic Carpentry). Once participants complete the course, they will receive a certification via NCCER, the National Center for Construction Education and Research.
In the future, other certifications that will be offered in Spanish include HVACR, Welding, Medical Courses, Basic Plumbing, Caregiver, Roofing, Bookkeeping, Concrete Construction, Basic Electrical, Fundamentals of Crew Leadership, and Preschool Education Certificate.
