University Announces Commitment to Customized Training for Savannah

October 23, 2014

The Georgia Southern University Division of Continuing Education recently announced its commitment to become the premier customized training provider for organizations in the Savannah area.

“Employees are an organization’s greatest asset. Investing in their education and professional growth can significantly impact a company’s success,” said Belkis Torres-Capeles, Ph.D., executive director of Continuing Education at Georgia Southern University. “Training needs vary from one company to the next and effective solutions should too. That’s why customized training is so important and why we’re committed to serving Savannah in this way.”

The Division’s Customized Training Programs are tailor-made and based on the organization’s specific training objectives. Additionally, organizations can select a desired date, time, and location for their program. Many choose to have classes at their own offices, while others opt for the Coastal Georgia Center, the award-winning facility in downtown Savannah that is managed by Georgia Southern University.

High caliber instruction is available in a variety of subjects to include Leadership Skills, Project Management, Legal Awareness in the Workplace and Microsoft Office. Off-the-shelf courses are easily adapted and new courses are continually added. Courses can also be created upon request.

Along with its commitment to customized training, the Division offers open enrollment classes at the Coastal Georgia Center to provide another option for professional development. Corporate discounts are available when three or more employees from the same firm enroll. Individuals may enroll at regular rates.

Additionally, the Division strives to enhance life outside of the work environment with a host of Personal Enrichment courses, including photography and creative writing. Open enrollment classes are offered year-round.

The Division of Continuing Education is offering a ten-percent discount off standard pricing of Customized Training Programs to all new customers who sign contracts by Friday, December 19, 2014. Training programs must take place no later than April 30, 2015 to be eligible for the discounted rate.
