Launch a New Career in Little Time
Fast-Track Job Training puts you on the road to a higher-earning, in-demand job. It's a fast way to earn credentials, develop real-world skills and gain the confidence needed to step into a new career.
Flexible programs for working adults
Our fast-track programs are designed to flex around your busy schedule. Most of our programs are offered online and can be taken at your own pace. For programs with in-person training, we offer weekend and evening classes when possible.
But whether you're in person or online – you'll have on-demand assistance with your courses. You'll have access to help if you need it, when you need it.
Financial assistance to help you take the next step
All of our fast-track programs are eligible for the WCC/UMCU Job Training loan, employer-paid training, and more. See Financial Assistance Options. Plus, employers and friends can also gift your training.
We're here to help you land the job
We offer more than the chance to earn a credential. Our Center for Career Success offers 1:1 counseling to help you discover your path, search for jobs, make your resume stand out, prepare you for interviews and more.
