The Pennsylvania Department of Education granted permission for some workforce development programs to resume on May 8. At the College, those programs include the Municipal Police Academy, EMT and Paramedic training. Per the Department of Education, “each program must be structured around ongoing social distancing, universal masking, and/or other public health guidance so as not to result in a spike of cases and new stay-at-home and closure orders."
CDL training has been suspended.
Non-credit classes are moving forward for summer and fall sessions to meet live via online video conferencing. Any of our hands-on workforce programs are being delivered in a hybrid model online and on campus.
Assessment Services has resumed remotely in a limited capacity.
