Fall is fast approaching and with it comes the onset of autumn colors and aromas, the start of the new school year for area children, and so much more, signaling the familiar change of seasons. We at Community Education are also embracing change; our Business & Industry offices and training center have moved to the Community Education Center located at 1765 Ada Avenue in Muskegon to join the other CE programs.

You will find this new catalog is a combination of opportunities for three main programs in OV Community Education—Business and Vocational training, Adult Enrichment classes, and the Senior Program activities. Browse through each one to find what “tickles your fancy”!

In the business and vocational pages you’ll see that we continue to offer many of the same business software classes, as well as Certified Nurse Aide/Home Health Aide and the other medical classes which have been and continue to be key components of our trusted vocational training program. Employment in the health care field is booming and our experienced instructors can train you to be job ready in just a few weeks.

The center pages are bursting with many Adult Enrichment classes—from painting to pumpkins, snowmen to soap making, and so much more. Find a partner and join ballroom dance, or craft with your friends and family. So many things to get those creative juices flowing. You’ll find some new classes, like Dog Therapy Training and American Sign Language, along with our favorites. If you have ideas for other classes or an interest in teaching a class please give us a call.
