JVS Chicago Partners With Ed2go/ges To Offer Online Courses & Training Programs

Nov. 23, 2011 - PRLog -- JVS Chicago today announced a partnership with Education To Go (ed2go)/GES, the industry leader in affordable online learning, to provide online courses and online career training programs to all levels of learners.  The programs enhance personal and professional skills and assist in the launching of a new career or advance in an existing one, no matter where one is located.  

JVS will have a growing catalog of more than 300 comprehensive six-week non-credit online courses that start monthly and range from Accounting and Personal Finance Fundamentals, Basic Computer Classes to Music Classes and everything in between.  Through well-crafted lessons, expert online instruction, and interaction with fellow students, participants in these courses gain valuable knowledge at their convenience. They have the flexibility to study at their own pace combined with enough structure and support to complete the course. And they can access the classroom 24/7 from anywhere with an Internet connection.

In addition, the Online Career Training Programs are credited courses, also available to start anytime.  Classes range from three to six months, and many offer an extension period if necessary.  Many programs include an industry certification exam, and internship opportunities are available for select programs.  The programs are entirely web-based, but expert instructors provide office hours and quick answers to any student questions.  

“JVS Chicago is pleased to offer this catalog of courses, which provides the most convenient, affordable, and accessible career training programs available anywhere,” said Richard Rotberg, Executive Director, JVS Chicago.  “For over 125 years, JVS Chicago has helped people work their way through life, and these courses will add to their success,” he adds.
