Workforce Development Director at Brighton Center
For many young people in our community, the summer months
are a time of relaxing at the pool, fun family vacations and staying up late
and making memories with friends. However, for those young people who just graduated from high school this
past spring – the summer months can be filled with deadlines, paperwork, and
anxiety.
While we know that a traditional four-year university is not
for everyone, we also know that by as early as next year (2020) – 65 percent of
all jobs in our economy will require some form of postsecondary education or
training. The Center for Employment
Training is designed to serve anyone who wants real training with life-changing
results.
We offer training programs in some of the most in-demand
careers in our community - Medical Assisting, Health Technology Administration
as well as Business & Computer Technologies. Consequently, CET does not have entry
requirements unlike most colleges, universities, or other training
institutions. You are treated as an individual with unique aspirations, needs, and abilities. Training is short-term and intensive—our goal is to get you into
a career as quickly as you are qualified. You have a dedicated team wrapped around to provide support – a Skill
Instructor to help you learn the basics of the career you want, a Success Coach
to help you navigate whatever life throws your way during training and a Career
Coach to help you attain your new dream job.
In addition, we partner with the Newport Adult Learning
Center to offer GED and adult education services on-site as well as a Financial
Wellness Coach to help you improve your credit and build your net worth. Our
program is also open-entry, so a young person (or anyone!) can graduate from
high school on Friday night and start training for their career on Monday
morning – eliminating the summer melt. Last, but not least, the Center for Employment Training is a debt-free
education so you won’t be saddled with the thousands of student loan debt as
you embark on your first career.
We’d love to tell you more about how we can help you achieve
your goals, so please stop by an Information Session – no appointment
necessary. We are here every Tuesday at
10 a.m. and every Thursday at 2 p.m. to give a tour and answer your
questions. Our campus is conveniently
located at 601 Washington Avenue; Suite 140 in Newport, KY.
