Anne Arundel Community College’s popular Java Spot series continues to draw crowds with its roster of timely topics.
The early morning complimentary sessions sponsored by AACC’s Center for Workforce Solutions (CWS) offer information on a variety of business and industry topics suggested by CWS clients and representatives of business, industry, government and the nonprofit sector. A subject matter expert leads each Java Spot presentation, with sessions generally lasting between 90 minutes and two hours.
“During each Java Spot, we provide a brief overview on front line topics ranging from mobile device forensics and supply chain competitiveness to perpetuating leadership. We also touch on industry trends and professional development opportunities,” says Sonja Gladwin, AACC workforce solutions manager. “Our Java Spot participants tell us they gain valuable insight and information to take back to the office.”
“The Java Spot series has proven to be a great way for the business community to access the resources of the college. It doesn’t take an enormous amount of time and participants walk away with a good understanding of the services and resources available to them here at AACC,” says Laura Weidner, Ph.D., AACC dean of workforce solutions.
Created to serve as a snapshot of the training capabilities CWS provides, each Java Spot can be available to your organization as customized training. For more information, or if you have questions about upcoming sessions or have an idea for a future Java Spot, contact the Center for Workforce Solutions at cws@aacc.edu or 410-777-2732.
