Workforce Development

The Workforce Development team works with companies and their employees to become more competitive through quality, cost-effective training. Like the clients we serve, our training events are customer-driven. We do not operate on a college schedule – we operate on the client's schedule, providing customized services relevant to the client's specific needs. In addition to specialized business and industry training, our service coordinators also offer help with employee and pre-employment assessments, career readiness verification, job placement and job profiling services.

Apprenticeship Programs

Cossatot Community College of the University of Arkansas has partnered with the National Apprenticeship Training Foundation (NATF), to provide training facilities at its Lockesburg location, to enhance access to electrician apprenticeship opportunities in Southwest Arkansas.
