Adult and Youth Workshops
The
Continuing Education Division offers community members the opportunity
to take non-credit courses for personal enrichment or professional development
throughout the year. Known as workshops and seminars, JCC offers a wide
variety of topics including those for working adults who want to enhance
their professional skills, as well as those for both adults and children
seeking personal enrichment through learning and discovery. Professional
development workshop topics range from pre-certification courses to popular
computer software training to entrepreneurship. Personal enrichment topics
range from cooking to arts/crafts to ballroom dancing to hiking.
In addition to family-friendly workshops like the kids-in-the-kitchen series, Jefferson also offers weeklong camps for kids during the summer months. Youth (grades K-12) programs are conveniently scheduled during school breaks and weekends.
Workshops and seminars are offered on campus or online through JCC’s educational partners Education To Go and Gatlin.
Workshops are added on a regular basis, so please check our professional growth, personal enrichment and youth and families workshop listings (at left) often. If you are looking for workshop offerings on a particular date, visit Jefferson’s online events calendar.
You can also find a complete list of all Continuing Education (CED) workshops scheduled on campus in the SOAR Course Schedule. Once in SOAR, choose Course Section Search, choose the term (Fall, Winter, Spring or Summer) and click Submit, then choose Continuing Education (CED) as the subject and the desired days and times.
