We are trying something new and hope you will
like it.
You are looking at the very first issue of the Tri-County
Community College (TCCC) Continuing Education
Schedule. This publication is focused entirely on
Occupational and Lifelong Learning.
Beginning with this issue and continuing at numerous
times throughout the year, we plan to publish and
distribute a schedule of classes focused exclusively on
TCCC’s continuing education, occupational extension
and community enrichment classes.
In the world of TCCC’s continuing education,
occupational extension and community enrichment
departments, we have the opportunity to not only be
flexible and creative, but also utilize “out of the box” thinking as we offer helpful and stimulating
classes for adult lifelong learning. Our classes cover a broad range of subjects and we thought it
was important to develop a brochure dedicated to our unique audiences.
Continuing Education and Occupational Extension training programs are designed to provide
instructional opportunities for individuals seeking to gain new and/or upgrade current job-related
skills. Training programs can be delivered as a single course or bundled as a series of courses; and
provides instruction around skill competencies that lead to a recognized credential (licensure,
certification, renewal, registry listing) and/or meets local workforce labor needs.
Community Enrichment classes are self-supporting classes designed to offer adults various types
of community-driven learning and enrichment opportunities that span a wide range of subjects
including art, finance, fitness, genealogy, health, husbandry and personal development.
As we look back on the last fifty years, the College has produced thousands of publications
promoting itself and its programs, and we wanted to celebrate creative initiatives in this special
manner, so we hope you enjoy it.
Finally, we would love to hear your feedback on this new venture, so please give us a call (828)
835-4214 or send us an email at ghubbard@tricountycc.edu and let us know what you think or
how we can improve to serve you better.
Thanks for being our community partners.
