In an effort to promote professional development at community colleges across the United States, Pearson recently announced the launch of online workforce training courses for community colleges at the American Association of Community Colleges' 19th Annual Workforce Development Institute in Miami.

"Local colleges are the anchors of communities across the U.S.," said Leah Jewell, president of health science and careers at Pearson. "They're often the first stop for displaced workers and those who want to enhance their skills and land a better job. Our courses are designed as a partnership to support these unique local needs with flexible, customizable learning options."

The courses offered by Pearson focus on professional development in industries such as healthcare, information technology, project management and supervision, lead by course authors and other elearning experts.

Another entity putting out a new line of professional development classes is 321 Gang, which has created new courses for requirements training, which feature a pre-recorded curriculum with video, as well as exercises and tests graded by the instructor.

These courses are aimed at professionals in the software development realm who need to meet the requirements in their field.
