SIGN Up for Housatonic Community College Distance Learning Program! Enrolling NOW!

METAL and Housatonic Community College (HCC) have partnered with the CT College of Technology/Regional Center for Next Generation for Manufacturing under a grant from the National Science Foundation to support the creation of a distance learning (on-line) course for manufacturers. These courses are part of HCC's 2-year Industrial Technology Option to the Technological Studies Associate in Science Degree program. What is great about these classes is that students can take them at your facility, earn college credit, and learn skills pertinent to new product development & technology. Even better is that this curriculum has been developed with input from manufacturers at all levels. This is one of the first programs of its kind in the country and we are excited to be a part of this unique and innovative training opportunity.

Note: Training in CSA 106 will incorporate the use of OneSource, OneSource is a software product that integrates business content from over 2,500 leading sources worldwide. OneSource provides company and industry profiles, executive biographies, financial data, analyst reports, and business press coverage through an online tool that can be integrated into enterprise applications, portals and CRM systems.

In order to enroll, a student must apply to the college (applications are available at HCC's website www.hctc.commnet.edu ) and take a placement exam at HCC in the next few weeks to start the summer session. Please contact Mike McCarthy (203-576-7030 x318) or Bill Griffin (203-332-5056) to schedule the placement exam or for more information.

This summer's training is slated to begin May 31 in two areas, Composition (ENG 101) and Introduction to Computer Applications (CSA 106). Both summer courses are 10 weeks in length. Detailed course descriptions for this summer's courses are found below. The cost is $367.75 for the three (3) credit Composition course and $475.00 for the four (4) credit Introduction to Computer Applications Course.
