A MESSAGE FROM SOUTHEASTERN’S NON-CREDIT PROGRAMS

Do you find yourself hav-ing to adapt to change in your industry as never before? Are your employees struggling with change? We’re here to help.

2014: Adapt to Change

This phrase seems to be a recurrent theme from all of

you in 2014. I am getting requests from business owners, government and organizational leaders, educators, and career changers who seek help adapting to change in their fields. These requests are mirrored in requests from their employees, students and parents, the un-employed, self-employed, retirees, and the workforce in general. We are here to help you from youth workshops, through career development and into retirement enrichment.

Non-Credit Programs in Auxiliary Services is striving to address your challenges, as a result of these requests. Southeastern Louisiana University’s new non-credit classes are designed to meet the needs of changes in workforce devel-opment, job change, school reform, and social and personal growth awareness.

We are also moving to introduce online and hybrid classes in the coming months. If you don’t see what you want, Non-Credit Programs is now offering customizable options for any group of five or more. This catalog has a cornucopia of classes from the arts, humanities, and film indus-try, to court reporting, QuickBooks certification and welding. Thanks to our network of experts across campus and our professional instructors in

the field, we can build a non-credit class to suit your needs. Throughout Southeastern’s three locations, we can meet your geographic needs, including bringing the class to your workplace. Take a look at the list of classes that are new this semester, and I think you will see the reflection of this transformation in our society.

Next Step for Your CareerIntroduction to Better Living through NutritionChallenge to ChangeInvestment Fundamentals and StrategiesPrimavera P6Introduction to QuickBooksShakespeare’s English KingsDrilling Down to the Core

Here is an example of our ability to design courses to suit your needs. One of our non-credit instruc-tors, Allanaugh Sewell, is also an instructor in the Department of Computer Science and Industrial Technology. She successfully and painlessly trained St. Tammany Parish Clerks of Court on changes in the new Microsoft Word 2013 updates. She was hailed for her flexibility in adapting train-ing for new and seasoned users of Microsoft Excel for Regina Coelie Child Development Center. These development courses were offered on our beautiful campus in Hammond with state of the art computer labs, as well as onsite at busi-ness training rooms.

I look forward to helping you with any of your non-credit needs. 2014 is the year to accept your personal and business challenges, and embrace change!
