JavaScript and AJAX
Start from the beginning to get a tour of the
JavaScript programming language. Work
with images, frames, forms, cookies and
more. AJAX is at the heart of the Web 2.0
revolution. It isn’t a technology, but rather is

and techniques, such as CSS, XML, DHTML
and XHTML. After studying JavaScript and
AJAX, students will work on building a project
website using AJAX.
HTML5 and CSS3
HTML Basics
JavaScript
Programming
Certificate
Although the latest revisions of HTML and
CSS won’t be finalized for a few more years,
they are broadly supported in the latest
browser versions and degrade gracefully
when viewed in older browsers. This means
that there is no reason to wait to start using
and enjoying the new features of HTML 5
and CSS 3! In these hands-on sessions we’ll
cover the new native form controls (datepickers, sliders and spinners), how to deliver
audio and video files without Flash, how to
use the new drawing canvas, transparency,
element and font drop shadows, rounded
corners, gradients, transforms, transitions,
multiple backgrounds, embedded fonts and
multicolumn layouts. Note that this class
is not an introductory class. You must have
strong HTML and CSS background, and be
comfortable with coding by hand.
This class can also be taken as part of the JavaScript
Programming Certificate.

Lean Six Sigma Green Belt
Green Belts are professionals who are
well versed in the Lean and Six Sigma
methodologies, and understand the
application of process improvements that
eliminate non-value added steps, reduce lead
time and begin to reduce process variations.
They collect data, make initial interpretations
and begin to formulate recommendations
that are fed to Black Belts or the sponsoring
managers. Green Belts typically facilitate one
or two projects a year while maintaining their
regular work duties. This revised instructor-led
class is designed for individuals from diverse
organizational functions who are focused on
reduction of waste, increased profitability and
customer satisfaction.
Successful students will achieve 80% on the
comprehensive final exam to be certified as a JCCC
Lean Six Sigma Green Belt, and earn 4.5 Continuing
Education Units (CEUs).
All books and materials are included. This course
counts as a prerequisite to Lean Six Sigma Black

Effective Communication
for Project Managers
Conflict within the project is inevitable, yet
many are at a loss when trying to manage
conflict within their project or surrounding
their project simply because they haven’t
been trained in conflict resolution. Within this
highly-interactive course, students will gain a
clear understanding of conflict, as well as be
able to identify their own conflict patterns.
Students will be trained to manage disputes
positively rather than responding to them on
an emotional level. Practical strategies will be
presented addressing conflict management,
dealing with difficult behavior, and developing
trust to minimize potential conflict. Students
will apply their knowledge through role-play,
dynamic exercises, and self-assessment
quizzes. Special attention will be given to
mediation techniques for project team leaders
and multiparty disputes between stakeholders.
The end results: better work environment,
stronger project results, and greater team
performance.
Effective and persuasive communication is
vital for personal and professional success.
And organizational communication requires
the ability to adapt your message to a range
of audience types. In this course, you’ll learn
how to build successful communication
and effectively connect with others. You’ll
discover influence strategies and get skills
to effectively persuade technical and nontechnical audiences to your point of view.
Discover the skills critical to building solid
work relationships and becoming more
persuasive in your communication. You’ll gain
valuable insights into your communication
style and that of others, and provide you with
hands-on skills for productively receiving and
transmitting information, ideas and thoughts.
This course will also help you become skilled
at analyzing situations and selecting the most
productive communication strategies to use.

Effective Project
Scheduling and Control
Effective Team Building
Skills for Project Managers
Estimating and
Managing Project Costs
Time management is one of the key
knowledge areas in Project Management.
Project Managers need to understand time
management as well as how scheduling
software can help in creating and tracking a
project plan. This hands-on course addresses
time management using Microsoft Project
as the scheduling tool. Topics include the
PMBOK time management processes,
scheduling concepts, developing and analyzing
schedules, creating and tracking a project plan
using Project, managing float, critical path
method (CPM), resource management and
reporting the project plan.
Use of teams in project management is
universal, yet not every team leader has been
trained how to do more than simply “manage.”
Successful team leaders share important
communication skills. It takes more than
strong business or technical skills to run a
thriving and efficient project team. A good
project team leader inspires others and makes
working for them exhilarating, educational,
and fulfilling. An effective project team leader
works with team members to attain a common
goal, inspires by example and deals with
problems in a decisive but compassionate
way. Students will be offered the opportunity
to develop the teambuilding skills necessary
to become truly effective and inspiring project
team leaders. This highly-interactive course
offers online self-assessment, dynamic
exercise and role-plays, and demonstrative
videos to achieve immediate results for onthe-job use. Special attention will be given to
working successfully with functional managers.
Cost management is one of the key knowledge
areas in project management. For many
projects, completing a project on time and
within budget will determine its success.
When developing the project plan, realistic
estimates are necessary in making key
decisions about project funding and selection.
This one-day course addresses the cost
management knowledge area, developing
detailed project estimates, determining budget
and earned value management.

Introduction to Enterprise
Resource Planning (ERP)
Inventory Control
and Record Accuracy
This workshop provides a high-level overview
common to all Enterprise Resource Planning
(ERP) systems and its role in an organization.
This course is intended for front-line
employees and front-line leaders working in
supply chain functions where understanding
ERP systems or participating in ERP change
projects is important. Topics include ERP
systems concepts, functions and capabilities;
navigating cross-functional diagrams;
understanding workflows and business
transactions; and identifying resources and
infrastructure requirements or ERPs. You will
collaborate to identify how information flows in
a typical company, then revisit that activity to
consider changes afforded by adoption of an
ERP system.
The physical control of inventory and the
achievement and maintenance of accurate
information related to inventory are major
concerns for organizations in manufacturing,
distribution and services such as healthcare.
In most cases there is substantial cost and
criticality in the inventory items and the
impact of service delivery. This course covers
the fundamentals of inventory control and
key aspects of inventory record accuracy to
include the functioning of accurate perpetual
records and cycle counting.
Audience: ERP users, project managers and team
members.

following classes:
• Building and Sustaining Trust
• Coaching for Peak Performance
• Communicating for Leadership Success
• Delegating with Purpose
• Developing Yourself and Others
• Driving Change
• Resolving Workplace Conflict
Accelerating Business Decisions
The speed of business impacts everything
leaders must do to be successful, including
how they make decisions. This course teaches
leaders an approach for making decisions
when speed is important, they have sufficient
information and resources, and the risks are
reasonable. They also learn how to identify
their own and others’ decision-making
tendencies and understand how to balance
them in situations requiring accelerated
decisions. Leaders will learn that they can
also leverage intuition, when it’s based on
experience, to make sound business decisions
in less time.
Addressing Poor Performance
Building and Sustaining Trust
Many leaders struggle with employees who
exhibit poor performance or work habits
despite repeated coaching. This course builds
leaders‘ skill and confidence in handling
chronic performance problems. Leaders learn
how to focus on operational and behavioral
issues and how to overcome defensive
reactions, such as deflecting, blaming and
redirecting. Leaders also learn how to gather
and use data to provide effective feedback
and how to balance seeking and telling to
gain commitment for improvement. Leaders
practice conducting performance improvement
discussions.
What does trust have to do with business
success? Everything. Trust is directly linked to
employee engagement, retention, productivity
and innovation. Leaders who demonstrate trust
and trustworthiness inspire higher levels of
performance and organizational commitment.
This course introduces the Trust Builders,
actions leaders can take to build and sustain
trusting relationships, as well as common
trust breakers that can quickly erode or break
trust. Applying these skills to build trusting
relationships enables people to take risks,
identify and solve problems, and collaborate
to achieve business results.

Communicating
for Leadership Success
This foundation course introduces leaders to
the essential interaction skills that are critical
to leadership success. These Interaction
Essentials are the core behaviors that leaders
need to be effective in the many situations
they handle on a daily basis, such as coaching,
delegating, and driving change. Leaders will
learn how to meet the personal and practical
needs of their team members and how to
communicate in order to spark action in
others to achieve business results. They will
also learn how to provide positive feedback
that recognizes and motivates individuals and
teams as well as developmental feedback that
helps others get back on track.
Developing Yourself and Others
Engaging and Retaining Talent
Development is critical to attracting and
retaining talent, driving employee engagement,
preparing future leaders, and ultimately
ensuring the success of the organization.
Clearly, development is equally important
to leaders as well as direct reports. In this
course, learners are introduced to a practical
process to guide their own and their direct
reports’ development planning efforts. The
outcome is a meaningful development plan
that supports the current and future business
needs of the organization.
This course helps leaders to conduct the
types of ongoing discussions needed to ensure
that the organization retains key players—
regardless of whether these key players are
satisfied and motivated or have one foot out
the door. It builds on core leadership skills and
helps leaders (with or without direct reports)
understand motivation, have discussions with
direct reports about their motivations, motivate
a group, and avoid de-motivating people.

Delegating with Purpose
Delegation is a critical skill for leaders
in today’s “do more with less” business
environment. Fewer resources, changing
motivations, virtual employees and global
workforces are just a few of the challenges
leaders face as they attempt to meet everincreasing workplace demands. In this course,
leaders learn the skills they need to address
these challenges, gain the commitment of
team members, develop individual skills and
abilities, and enhance the overall capability
and capacity of their teams and, ultimately,
the organization. Leaders learn to identify the
tasks they need to delegate, select the most
appropriate individuals, assess capabilities
and commitment, and plan the delegation
discussion including the level of decisionmaking authority, amount of support, and
methods for measuring and monitoring the
delegation.

job; how specific job competencies are the
basis of focused interview questions; how to
gather and evaluate complete examples of
the applicant’s past behavior related to the
job’s competencies; how to conduct interviews
in a way that makes a positive impression
on the applicant; techniques to interview

This course helps leaders implement change
in the workplace so they can avoid the

Executing Strategy
at the Front Line
NEW! Fraud: Red Flags
and Risks in Business
In order to achieve their business strategies,
organizations count on frontline leaders to
understand and execute the top priorities
for their team. In this course, leaders will
learn the three key elements of executing
strategy at the front line: focus, measurement
and accountability. They will learn how to
focus on the few most critical priorities, to
measure progress toward the accomplishment
of these priorities, and to hold themselves
and their team members accountable
against the metrics. Participants also
explore best practices for accountability,
such as determining and communicating
accountability, including consequences. The
Strategy Execution Tool helps leaders capture
in one place their top priorities, progress and
outcome measures, and those accountable
for achieving the priorities. Using the three
elements of execution together will ensure
that leaders and their teams get the right
things done in spite of the distractions and
disruptions they are faced with each day.
Ex-cop and retired FBI agent, Michael Tabman,

Resolving Workplace Conflict
Today’s business environment presents new
and growing challenges forcing organizations
to continually increase productivity, improve
quality, shorten cycle time and reduce costs.
Survey after survey confirms that people
are working longer and harder at jobs that
are more complex and have a wider range
of responsibilities. At the same time, the
way people work and communicate with one
another is changing, creating added stress and
complexity. The homogenous, single-function,
co-located group is being replaced by
dispersed, cross-functional teams with diverse
areas of expertise. An unfortunate but natural
by-product of these challenges is conflict.
While conflict can lead to discoveries such as
new ideas and innovative breakthroughs, it
can, if allowed to escalate, result in damage
to critical working relationships. This course
teaches leaders how to recognize the signs of
escalating conflict and take appropriate action
to minimize damage. Leaders are introduced
to two resolution tactics — coach and
mediate — and practice using the Interaction
Essentials as they coach an associate to
resolve a conflict.

Certificate. The on-campus course is approved by

Setting Goals and
Reviewing Results
People are more engaged and strive for
better results when they feel ownership
of their work in both the process and the
outcomes. Unfortunately, leaders fail to
engage and reinforce this sense of ownership
in performance management discussions. This
course will show the positive effect of shifting
the traditional role of planner and evaluator
from the leader to a shared responsibility
between leader and employee. This shift
builds ownership with the employee and frees
up time for leaders to focus on coaching
and developing throughout the performance
cycle. Leaders will experience how to use
effective (SMART) goals to help them and
their employees track progress and fairly
evaluate outcomes. A well-written performance
plan is also a powerful tool for leaders to
use when determining where to focus their
development and coaching discussions with
their employees.

America: Coming of Age
HEALTHCARE
The Forever Grief:
The Loss of a Beloved Child
There is no statute of limitations on grief
following the death of a child or a grandchild.
A quarter century after the death of his threeyear-old son, Dwight Eisenhower said, “You
never get over it. Don’t expect to get over it.”
Yet, how does a parent/grandparent grieve
in a culture that insists, “Get over it and
move on!” or “Think of the children you still
have!” During this evening’s workshop we will
examine the grief of two well-known parents
and discuss strategies for learning how to
help professionally and personally in this most
difficult of all losses while managing our own
feelings.

Codependency is an emotional disorder that
negatively impacts clients’ individuation,
self-esteem, and interpersonal relationships.
Codependent people generally put aside their
needs for the needs of others, often feeling
unnecessarily responsible for another. Clients
experiencing codependency tend to have
trouble accepting and being themselves; rarely
expressing their own true thoughts, needs
or feelings for fear of displeasing others; so
they conceal who they are to be accepted
by someone else. In this course you will
learn how to help clients let go and become
authentic individuals.

A Comprehensive Walk
Through Caring for Someone
with Dementia
An estimated 83,000 people in the U.S.
died with Alzheimer’s in 2010, making it the
nation’s sixth-leading cause of death, but the

these illnesses. This approach will guide us
better on how to interact with them, structure
purposeful, person-centered care and
maintain dignity and identity throughout the
illness process. Caregiver stress, community
resources, grief and loss issues and hope will
also be covered.

Concussion or mild traumatic brain injury
(MTBI) is defined as a head injury with a
temporary loss of brain function; concussion
causes physical, cognitive, and emotional
symptoms, which may not be recognized
if they are subtle. Children who have had
one concussion seem more susceptible to
another, particularly if a new injury occurs
before symptoms from the previous injury have
resolved, and lesser traumas may cause the
same symptom severity. Some studies show
repeated concussions may increase the risk
in later life for dementia, Parkinson’s disease
and/or depression. Come join us and the

point of helping someone live longer to helping
them prolong their dying? When families face
end-of-life challenges, there can be ethical
dilemmas as people have conflicting ideas
about the right care. Come discuss concepts
of suffering, hope and pain and learn of the
cultural considerations and desired wishes/
decisions that can have ethical, moral and
legal challenges for patients, caregivers, and
medical personnel. In this workshop we will
discuss end-of-life issues from a patient/family
perspective and help you define where you
stand personally and professionally on these
issues.

Healing of Magic
The Healing of Magic is a carefully designed,
systematic approach to the therapeutic
use of simple magic tricks in physical
and psychosocial rehabilitation. There are
numerous proven benefits for this form of
therapy, however, the most important aspect
is the ability of the client to transfer the skills
learned by performing magic into activities of
daily living — motivating their rehabilitation
progress and developing/improving their selfconcept. It is a viable treatment modality that
continues to gain wide-spread support from
therapists and healthcare professionals around
the world.

provide you with insights to the natural world
to help your clients promote their physical,
cognitive and spiritual healing after illness.
This class will discuss the unique roles
healthcare providers play in advocating healthy
behavior and the significant impact these roles
have on our clients. These include, exercise,
sleep patterns, smoking cessation, use of
supplements and hormone replacement,
alcohol use and cultivating stress resilience.

Motivational Interviewing:
Moving Beyond Resistance
A Practical Guide for Improving
Brain Fitness
Spanish for Nurses
Caring for Latinos
Ambivalence about change seems to be part
of the human condition as it is often easier
said than done. Motivational Interviewing is
a therapeutic approach designed to respond
effectively and respectfully to the realities of
patient resistance. In this workshop you will
learn about this directive, client-centered
counseling style for eliciting behavior change
by helping patients to explore and resolve
ambivalence. Motivational Interviewing is
frequently used for addressing problems such
as alcohol and substance abuse, smoking
cessation, and damaging health habits, but it
can be readily applied to any situation in which
the patient has both desire and apprehension
about working to change.
Each of us generally knows what it takes
to live a healthy lifestyle, but we are less
informed as to the practical specifics of
brain health. The two are, however, interdependent. In this course you will learn how
the daily choices we make influence the
actual structure and health of our brains. You
will learn to differentiate mental activity and
mental challenge and identify obstacles to
establishing priorities and how to create plans
for improved brain and body fitness.
This course is designed to teach Spanish
that can be used immediately in day-to-day
communication with patients. Pronunciation,
work-specific language, phonetic encoding
and listening activities are part of each lesson.
This is a customized real-life Spanish program
designed to prepare the non-Spanish speaking
nurse to better interact with and care for
Spanish-speaking patients.

can impact skin health in an atopic

presents with eczema (atopic dermatitis).
Infectious diseases also can present with
rashes that may or may not be important
in the early diagnosis of the disease, such
as tick-borne diseases, bacterial infections,
and viral infections. In this program you will
learn and become familiar with common
skin disorders and diseases in childhood.

Subpopulation Spotlight:
LGBTQ Policy and Practice
Successfully Creating
Client Change
Understanding the dynamics of sexual
orientation and gender identity is essential
to human service practitioners. The
LGBTQIA community, despite significant
gains, continues to exist as an oppressed
demographic and receives inferior outreach
and assistance from providers, particularly
in nonmetropolitan communities. Learn
more about this demographic, the current
status of clients therein, and how you can
make certain that your organization can craft
and roll out inclusive policy and practice to
this minority group. Bring your questions,
experiences and insights to engage alongside
other professionals committed to providing the
best service possible to clients from all walks
of life.
Making changes may seem easy in theory, but
we all know that it is almost always difficult
in real life. It can be very frustrating when
the benefits of change are very clear to both
us and our clients, but effort and progress
quickly fades away. In this course we will cover
both the necessary conditions for change to
occur, and techniques to address the barriers
and resistance that often plague attempts at
change and improvement. Unlike much that is
written about creating change, the information
presented in this course will be grounded
in current scientific research and leading
scholarly theory.

between us and our clients. Although these
differences can be the source of great
richness, if not handled well in the treatment

Human behavior has a purpose and is not a

of human behavior and how encouragement
versus discouragement impacts the types of
maladaptive behavior an individual will use to
attempt to satisfy these goals. We will look at
the differences between what we mistakenly
call dysfunctional behavior, and move to a
model for understanding such behavior as
maladaptive attempts at survival. Techniques
for developing encouraged individuals will

Bully Proofing Your Early
Childhood Classroom
If It’s Predictable – It’s
Preventable? Or is It?
Behavior management is one of the most
challenging aspects of your job. Learn how to
give your children the skills to manage their
behavior more independently. Define target
behaviors, assess their purpose and develop
positive strategies to use in your setting. Most
importantly, look at strategies to use that may
prevent these behaviors from occurring in the
first place.
Would you like to have a classroom where
children value and respect one another and
where they know how to solve problems? Learn
how your emotional state governs how children
act, strategies for turning conflicts into
problem solving conversations, and questions
to ask children that can turn their bullying
behavior into kindness.
