LOS ANGELES/EWORLDWIRE/Feb. 19, 2008 --- In a rapidly changing workplace, adults who have trouble meeting employer needs are increasingly pursuing the professional tools offered by e-learning - online educational environments such as that at Professional Career Education (PCEd) ('http://www.ProfessionalCareerEducation.com'), the newest Web-based career education opportunity, which has just opened its online doors to its first students.According to PCEd Founder Dr. Christine Rocher Bosworth, "In today's labor market, it's all about learning, un-learning and re-learning. It is our job at PCEd to provide employers with graduates that are not only skilled but have learned how to learn." PCEd courses are specifically developed to provide students with technical skills, and a broad-based knowledge of general office and bookkeeping functions. A market-driven curriculum delivered by PCEd is aligned with the school's educational philosophy, and it is designed to prepare students for what the U.S. Department of Labor has identified as career path growth areas.
PCEd's mission is to provide students with skills-based, high quality instruction that specializes in entry-level career development and continuing education. PCEd's comprehensive offerings form a strong foundation for a rewarding career and a greater variety of attainable job opportunities. Dr. Bosworth explains, "Many people who want to make changes in their lives have a job and family responsibilities that pull on their time. The flexibility offered by e-learning means adult students can fulfill their responsibilities and study when it's convenient for them." A senior analyst at Eduventures states, within the next 10 years, 25 percent of all students will be taking their courses online (Dillon, 2006).
Dr. Bosworth further explains that, "Success in a PCEd e-learning classroom is determined by the character of the student - students have to be highly motivated and self-directed because they take on the responsibility for learning and self-development. Development of these key qualities is influenced and supported by a high caliber curriculum, and with the guidance of our expert staff of educators, our students hone these sought-after professional traits."
Broad options and available programs to finance education suit a range of budgets and personal needs: PCEd offers scholarships, a no-interest-no-credit check tuition payment plan; a free GED preparation course for students who do not have a high school diploma; and a free 5-week career development course when students enroll in a program.
Dr. Bosworth wholeheartedly believes that education is life-transforming, and that economic disadvantages, societal roadblocks, or cultural conditioning should not stand in the way of providing individuals with the opportunity to pursue their unique potential. "My personal mission is to help provide that opportunity."
PCEd is a member of CAPPS, AAACE, and The Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce, where Dr. Bosworth is a member of the Education & Workforce Development committee. For more information about PCEd and program offerings, contact:
