A little help from your friends - at Oakton Community College

Interrupting the "Making the Library Your New Year's Resolution" train of thought for a moment here to inform you about some tuition-free job training now being offered by Oakton Community College, 1600 E. Golf Road right here in Des Plaines (there is also a satellite location in Skokie).

You can get
all the details here in PDF format, or just keep reading. I think it's important to give the disclaimer first so you'll have a good sense if this applies to you. The tuition-free training is offered ONLY to residents of Oakton Community College District 535 who have become unemployed from a full-time job since January 1, 2008. Participants must provide a copy of their current Wage Information Sheet. Some fees may apply.

If you're still interested, tuition for up to 12 credit hours is waived for eligible participants in a certificate program for one of the following:
  • A+ Computer Diagnostic Specialist
  • Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Operation and Programming Preparation
  • Green Marketing Preparation
  • Microsoft Project Management Preparation
  • Pharmaceutical Preparation
Most of these certificate programs can be completed in one semester and classes begin the week of February 16, 2009. For pre-screening and additional instruction contact Career Services at 847.635.1735 or careerservices@oakton.edu.

Reboot your career with some help from Oakton Community College. Think of this as another way in which the Library helps you learn, work and play - by keeping you informed of local opportunities for working and learning, even when they don't take place at the Library.
