Welcome to Continuing Education at SKC
Salish Kootenai College (SKC) Continuing Education program was established to provide quality continuing education opportunities to meet the personal enrichment and professional development needs of local community members, Tribal Departments, and organizations on the Flathead Indian Reservation.
Continuing education (CE) refers to organized, non-credit post-secondary learning activities, including workshops, seminars, certifications, and courses, designed for adults to update skills, earn professional licensure, or pursue personal enrichment after their initial education. The purpose and benefits of continuing education include the following:
- Skill Development and Confidence: Specialized courses allow individuals to learn new skills or strengthen existing ones, boosting confidence in their abilities.
- Networking Opportunities: Attending continuing education seminars or courses provides opportunities to connect with other industry professionals and foster career growth.
- Mandatory Licensure Renewal: Many professions, particularly in healthcare, engineering, and education, require a specific number of CEUs to keep licenses active.
- Career Advancement: Continuing education demonstrates a commitment to professional growth, making professionals more marketable for promotions or new positions.
- Staying Current in the Field: Continuing education helps professionals stay up to date with the latest technologies, laws, and industry best practices, ensuring high-quality work and more efficient service delivery.
