Organization: Victor Valley College

This project will allow Victor Valley Community College in collaboration with the One-Stop Career Center to set up a High Desert Novell training center. The four instructors that will be trained will prepare courses in computer networks for presentation as part of the regular curriculum. Other instructors will be cross-trained in computer network technologies as part of the college's flex day program. SCANS Report competencies will be integrated into the curriculum.

The motivation for this program is a result of public, business, and industry seeking knowledge and education to meet demands of the changing global workplace environment. Objectives and activities include in-service training, development of curriculum, brochure development, and linkages with businesses and industry. The college's commitment is demonstrated by the selection of outstanding faculty members, Barbara Becker, Rebecca Palmer, Marc Ingle, and Vicky Geeson who are committed to obtaining this professional development training.
