How to Register

The Workforce Development Office offers a wide range of workshops and training programs that open for registration throughout the year. Browse our catalog and select the workshop or training that interests you to determine its start date, or pre-register for the next session.

When you are ready to register, click Enroll or Pre-Register. If online registration and checkout is available, pick your payment option at checkout—pay a credit card, request a scholarship (for certain workshops only) or have us invoice a third party for your tuition.

Some workshops will require additional documentation to complete your enrollment, such as a physical attestation form or an interview. You will receive a message with instructions for next steps at check out.

If you are registering more than one person, you may select “Register a Team” at checkout.
