Waubonsee Offers Innovative Workforce Training Series

AURORA - Waubonsee Community College's Workforce Development is offering an innovative approach to training that gives employers a "sneak peek" into new ways to solve common business issues. These sessions can be customized for the employer's workplace.

The first topic offered is "Harassment and Bullying Prevention," and takes place Thursday, Sept. 15 from 8 to 9:30 a.m. at Waubonsee's Aurora Downtown Campus, 18 S. River St. The session costs $40 and includes a continental breakfast.

The training session will be offered in a unique simulation format.

"A lot of lawsuits are being brought in this area. The canned training approach is proving to be not as effective. This approach is something we think will be more impactful for businesses in terms of awareness and problem scope," said Harriet Parker, Workforce Development Account Representative. Parker said the sessions are ideal for human resources representatives looking for new or different training offerings for their employers. Session content is designed for employees at all levels of responsibility.

Those interested in attending the session can contact Parker at (630) 906-4143 or hparker@waubonsee.edu. Tickets are available at www.waubonseetickets.com.
