The COS Training Resource Center consists of two units:
---Contract Education
The COS Training Resource Center provides training and consulting solutions to Tulare and Kings County organizations. Our mission is to advance the economic growth and global competitiveness of business and industry in our region by:
Delivering customized training and consulting services that provide a return-on-invest
ment for your organization. Developing networks and partnerships that allow for information exchange and increased opportunities to bring needed qualified workforce resources to our region. We can customize training and consulting services to fit the needs of your organization in areas such as quality management systems, continuous improvement, customer service, communication, leadership, computer skills and other business and industry related topics. We can provide services at your location or in our facilities.
---Community Education
The Community Education office is committed to providing “Life-long Learning” opportunities to individuals in our community. We offer a wide-range of classes, from the just-for-fun classes to improving a skill or learning a new hobby. Whether you are looking for an educational, enrichment or adventure class, we may have just what you’re looking for. Community Education classes are short-term, not-for-credit, fee-based courses, workshops and training programs. The program is self-supporting from class fees, receiving no funds from COS or the State of California. Fees are based on the instructor's salary, enrollment, duration of the class administrative and operating costs. Community Education classes are separate from the academic offerings of the College. Not-for-credit classes are not equivalent to credit offerings and cannot be used to meet prerequisites or to fulfill credit requirements.
