California State University San Marcos Extended Learning
Campus Tackles Topic of Tough Economy
With unemployment inching up and fears of a recession, now is a good time for business professionals to develop their skills, and for employers to invest in their workforce’s effectiveness. Programs like those offered through California State University San Marcos Extended Learning are an excellent and affordable option.
“We understand the challenges that a slow economy presents. By working with Extended Learning, employers receive high-quality employee development, like our supervisory program, within a reasonable budget. Our programs aren’t just restricted to the San Marcos campus; we regularly go to job sites throughout San Diego and customize programs specifically for employers at their facilities,” commented Cathy Dellas, senior director of workforce learning at CSUSM Extended Learning.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, since this time last year, the number of unemployed people in the United States has increased by 1.1 million, which means more people than ever before will be looking for work and employers will be looking for candidates who have the qualifications that put them at the top of the pack.
Through partnerships with groups such as APICS for operations resource management professionals or the Society for Human Resources Management for HR managers, Extended Learning can help employees obtain mandatory certifications and stay current in their fields.
Employees can acquire brand-new skill sets as well through programs in meeting and event planning or web page design. Training a talented employee rather than hiring a new one for such roles can be very cost-effective.
The CSUSM campus is centrally located, keeping commutes short for North County and Southwest Riverside residents. However, all students can enjoy the ultimate in convenience by enrolling in CSUSM’s high-quality, online programs. Get started at www.therightcourse.net or by calling (800) 500-9377.
