| A $234,000 contract with the State's Department of Workforce Development will enable the IU School of Continuing Studies to provide training opportunities for the 1,200 Indiana citizens working for the department and for its partner organizations charged with implementing the federal Workforce Investment Act statewide. Glenda Murray, director of professional development for the SCS Office of Learning Partnerships, said the school will work with the DWD Lifelong Learning Institute to broker at least seven major training programs. Participants will earn continuing education units and, in some cases, certificates. In addition, the school and the institute will create a credentialing program for DWD trainers. "One of the major themes in recent years in economic and community development has been the need for employees with additional training and skills," said SCS Dean Jeremy Dunning. "This partnership is a major step toward meeting that need and will enhance the availability, diversity and quality of training to Indiana citizens responsible for implementing the Workforce Investment Act."
