CASACs offer

depression, supporting individuals in prevention efforts, and aiding their
journey towards addiction recovery, behavior modification, or enhanced
mental well-being.
Jefferson’s
Addiction Treatment Training Level 1 microcredential
will enable students to demonstrate competency in several key areas
including: current approaches to prevention of alcohol and nicotine
addiction, examining the signs, symptoms, and stages of the various classes
of drug addiction, and explaining the unique characteristics of case
management in substance abuse. Upon successful completion, students will
earn nine transferable credit hours that are aligned with the College’s
Addiction Studies associate degree program.
In addition to
the Addiction Treatment Training Level 1 microcredential,
Jefferson also offers a microcredential in
Agribusiness and Hospitality (Value Added Food Processing), Business
Leadership, Director Support Professional I and II (grant-funded),
Fundamentals of Effective Communication, Healthcare Management I and II,
Hospitality, Kitchen Basics, Non-profit Leadership, Software Development,
and Teaching Assistant Levels II and III.
Microcredentials are targeted
courses designed for professionals seeking to upskill, advance careers, or
pivot to new fields, as well as college student undecided on a career path.
Upon successful completion, students receive a digital badge to include on
their resume, electronic portfolio, and professional networking sites such
as LinkedIn.
Part-time
students pursuing a microcredential at JCC have
access to the same academic support services as full-time JCC students.
Courses are delivered in flexible teaching modalities including
