Our IT programs cover everything from help desk technician training to advanced cybersecurity and network administration certifications. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, IT jobs are projected to grow by 13% over the next decade, with nearly 360,000 job openings yearly.
Graphic Design & Web Development
If you’re creative and want to pursue a career in digital design, our Adobe Photoshop and HTML5 classes can help you develop the skills to work as a graphic designer or web developer. These fields offer freelance and full-time opportunities as businesses increasingly rely on digital media.
Leadership & Management
We offer professional development courses in leadership, management, and communication skills for those looking to advance into leadership roles. These courses are perfect for individuals transitioning into supervisory or managerial positions.
Citizenship Classes
We offer citizenship classes designed to help those who want to build a future in the United States navigate the process confidently.
We understand that everyone’s situation is different. That’s why we welcome funding options to help you cover tuition if you qualify. These resources are provided by the Veterans’ Administration (VA) or the Department of Labor (DoL).
- Post-9/11 GI Bill® | Official VA Website
- WIOA (Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act) | Official DoL Website
- TAA (Trade Adjustment Assistance) | Official DoL Website
If you’re a veteran or eligible dependent, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® may pay a significant portion of your training costs. WIOA benefits can support your career transition if you’re unemployed or underemployed. If you lost your previous job due to foreign outsourcing, TAA may provide the necessary resources to return to the workforce.
We also offer live online and in-person classes with flexible schedules at our Mendota Heights location. This allows you to balance your responsibilities while upgrading your skills. If you have questions about eligibility, our team will help you explore your options.
At Crescent Career Center, our support doesn’t end when your training does. We offer job placement assistance to help you transition from the classroom to the workforce. Our career development specialists work closely with recruiting agencies and companies to build relationships and refer students when applicable. Whether you’re pursuing a career in IT, graphic design, or management, we’re here to support your journey.
