Continuing Education

To enhance and support lifelong learning, Continuing Education offers short-term non-credit classes throughout the year. The staff also designs and offers non-credit workshops, seminars, and classes.
Students enrolling in non-credit community education courses generally do not need to meet specific admissions requirements or have a certain level of prior education. These courses may provide needed CEU's (Continuing Education Units) for professionals upgrading their skills. Certificates of completion are awarded for each course.
Individuals or groups often have ideas for a special class, event, or seminar they would like ASUMH to develop. If you have a class or seminar idea you would like considered for development, contact Continuing Education and Business Outreach for more information.

Grants can reduce the expense of training and education 

The State of Arkansas has a special process in place to insure ongoing training for persons in the manufacturing sector.  It is called the EXISTING WORKFORCE TRAINING PROGRAM. The primary purpose of the Existing Workforce Training Program (EWTP) is to provide financial assistance in the form of a direct grant or an income tax credit to Arkansas manufacturing businesses to pay a portion of customized, industry specific training to enhance the knowledge and skill of the existing workforce.  The Center for Continuing Education will assist area businesses in identifying training opportunities and applying for EWTP grants.
