Free Training Courses for Businesses

Courses are being offered thanks to the grant-funded Basic Skills Workforce Training Program, which was developed by the New Jersey Community College Consortium for Workforce and Economic Development in partnership with the NJBIA and the state Department of Labor and Workforce Development. This is the third year for the program, which already has benefited 850 companies and more than 9,000 of their employees.

Courses run for 12 months and provide literacy and basic skills instruction in a number of subjects. These include English as second language; written, verbal and customer-relations communication; mathematics and measurement; and basic computer applications, including Windows, Outlook, Microsoft Word and Excel.

Employers interested in providing this training to their employees have the option of reserving dedicated classes, which would be held at their worksites or at a Camden County College location. Scheduling is flexible and can be tailored to an employer’s specific needs.

Participating companies will not be charged for this training but must meet certain requirements to participate. These include having employees “on the clock” during classes and providing federal employer identification numbers. In addition, a minimum of 10 participants would be required per course.
