Workforce Training Classes
In addition to basic education, Harrison County area residents need skills to enter and advance in a workforce that is increasingly less focused on manufacturing and more service and technology oriented. These training classes are designed to help students obtain work-ready skills and contribute to the local workforce. In conjunction with Ivy Tech Community College, Harrison County Lifelong Learning offers the following classes:

• Office Skills Training
  This 12-hour class covers the skills required to be a successful office assistant, including professional work image, job responsibilities, effective communication skills, telephone etiquette, customer relations, organizational skills, time managment/prioritzing, and decision making.

• Coveted Skills Training
  Based on a survey conducted by the Southern Indiana Chamber of Commerce, the workforce skills most coveted by local employers include effective communication, problem solving, customer service and teamwork. The workshop includes 10 hours of instruction on these topics.
