Business and Professional Message from Associate Provost

This special online learning edition of Lifelong Education And Development (LEAD) brings with it a new focus on Continuing Education and Outreach (CE&O) online courses and services. While many of the programs and courses have been ofered in an online format in the past, a large number of new courses have been moved online. In addition, CE&O custom training and consulting services are now available in an online format. This new delivery mode has been tried and proven to help client organizations meet their needs during this alternative working environment.

Investing in continuing education consistently provides outstanding returns, better job security, and increased proftability for employees and employers alike. A wide range of individual courses, noncred-it professional development, test preparation, and online certifcate programs aligned with industry-recognized standards in accounting, human resource management, project management, technology and more are available online. Many of these opportunities are available on-demand allowing stu-dents to begin immediately while others have set beginning and end dates.

Our team of professional trainers and consultants develop custom training, consulting, and coaching for clients every day, and they have refned their online delivery to meet today’s needs. Our team takes great pride in delivering training that provides real-world experience, knowledge and skills that can immediately be applied in life and in the workplace. The online Friday morning cofee and conversa-tions sessions have proven very benefcial to attendees as was the virtual Administrative Professionals Conference held April 22nd. Our team has proven that the online delivery model is not just possible but also meaningful and impactful.

We appreciate your interest in CE&O, and please remember to call on us the next time you are in need of training.

Sincerely,

Lee Vardaman, Ed.D., SHRM-SCP Associate Provost-Academic Support

Katy Garren, Community Involvement Coordinator was a great success because of you and the team at Continuing The Town of Pike Road Education and Outreach.”

Jeremy Arthur, President and CEO Chamber of Commerce Association of Alabama

“I attended a class with one of your trainers and I have to say that is probably the best class I have been to recently. It was very informative and the trainer was excellent. It was easy to ask questions and the answers related back to us, not just some corporate answer that we are typically given in any training classes.”
