The Beginning...

Buchtel College’s first class (1872) was comprised of 46 regular freshman and 164 noncredit students.   Within a year, Buchtel College enrolled noncredit students in business courses in an outreach center in Barberton.  Workforce Development and Continuing Education continues the tradition today by offering quality noncredit classes to area businesses and to people in our community.

Workforce Development and Continuing Education serves your educational needs:

• through noncredit and certification courses offered in our catalog and on our Web site
• by offering a wide variety of online courses for career development and certification, personal enrichment, and professional development recertification credits
• with customized on-site training for employees. 

More than 300 classroom and online courses are available each semester.  Many courses are approved by professional, national and state organizations for certificate and license recertification. Graduate credit online workshops are available for teachers.
