ADULT EDUCATION
The SUN Area Career & Technology Center
provides several great ways for adults to receive new training or
brush up on existing skills. We help more than 1200 adults with
training needs each year!
Adult Short Term Courses:
During the spring and fall terms, SUN TECH offers over 40 different
courses of this type. The length of each course varies between 12 and
72 hours and usually meets one or two nights per week. Summer courses
are also scheduled according to demand. Course content is reflective
of the 19 different vocational-technical programs offered at SUN TECH.
For a current schedule of classes contact the School at 570-966-1031
ext. 113.
On Line Courses:
SUN TECH is now offering on line courses in cooperation with
ed2go,
a leading provider of instructor lead internet based courses. These
classes run for six weeks. Two lessons are released each week for the
duration of the course. The student has interaction with the
instructor via the e-mail and a NETSCAPE or Internet Explorer Web
Browser. Complete enrollment and payment is provided by visiting
ed2go
at
www.ed2go.com/suntech. Courses are scheduled throughout the year
with new courses being released monthly.
Adult Prime-Time Enrollment:
Under this program, adults will be allowed to enroll in day school
classes and attend during the daytime hours. Enrollment in this
program will be contingent upon the number of available openings in
each program. Training time can be flexible but must be prescheduled
in blocks of time depending on skill competencies to be covered.
The curriculum will be competency
based with open entry and exit. A high school diploma or GED is
required for enrollment. SUN TECH programs are approved for funding
under the Workforce Investment Act (LWIA), Trade Adjustment Act (TAA)
and NAFTA-TAA. For current available openings and enrollment
information, contact the School at 570-966-1031 ext. 113.
Customized Training Programs:
These training opportunities are tailored to meet specific
business/industry requirements. SUN TECH works in cooperation with
business to develop a program of study to best serve the needs of the
organization. The time frame is dependent upon how extensive the
training is to be. Funding for these programs could be provided by the
business or through various government economic development programs
such as the Central Pennsylvania Workforce Development Corporation,
Pennsylvania State Customized Job Training Program (CJT) and WEDnet PA
as subcontractor. For additional information, contact the Adult
Education Coordinator at 570-966-1032 ext. 125.
Occupational Competency Evaluation:
SUN TECH can develop and implement trade related tests to measure
the aptitudes and abilities of selected employees. These tests can be
valuable tools in determining areas in which employees require
additional training, or as indicators of program effectiveness. For
additional information, contact the Adult Education Coordinator at
570-966-1032 ext. 125.
