Why Should You Attend a College Workshop?
For busy adults, attending college workshops can mean the difference between finding a job, keeping a job or getting that raise you always wanted. Workshops offer a chance to expand your knowledge about your current profession or learn about a new field if you are thinking about making a career change. Consider these key reasons to attend if you are thinking about taking a workshop at the University of Sioux Falls.
- Complete Continuing Education Credits. Workshops offer the chance for you to gain more insight and knowledge about your current job or profession. For those professions that require continuing education, taking courses at the university level often satisfies that need. Additionally, because these are university level, these workshops may be eligible to receive tuition reimbursement by your employer. We advise you to check with your place of employment to confirm.
- Fill In Knowledge Gaps. If you are thinking about making a career change or need a course to fill in your knowledge gaps at your current place of employment, workshops offer the ease and flexibility to learn exactly what you need. They can help you prepare for exams or make you more marketable to future employers having had the formal education in a particular area not just on the job training.
Workshops are taught in person and online to help accommodate busy professionals schedules. They offer you the ability to meet other professionals in your field or expected field and learn from each other. Additionally, they provide hands-on materials that you can bring back to your environment and begin implementing right away.
