Hundreds of New Online Training Courses Help Workers Gain or Enhance Workplace Skills
More than 230 new online training courses added to the University of Arkansas Professional and Workforce Development website can help high school students, recent graduates, career changers or individuals seeking personal or professional development gain or enhance skills.
U of A Professional and Workforce Development has temporarily suspended face-to-face courses to align with the U of A's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
