Boost Your Business Skills: SUNY Adirondack Offers Free Courses for Local Residents

SUNY Adirondack in Queensbury, New York, will offer free online business courses from May 20 to June 28, 2024. The college is providing two courses, QuickBooks Microcomputer Applications and Advanced Bookkeeping Applications, each worth three college credits. These courses are free due to funding from the WRAP Reimagine grant, a part of a major U.S. Department of Education initiative aimed at workforce training.

Susan Corlew, the director of Continuing Education and Workforce Innovation at SUNY Adirondack, stated that these courses are designed to improve professional skills and meet local employers' needs. The courses are part of SUNY Adirondack’s microcredential programs in Small-Business Operations Bookkeeper and Small-Business Operations Manager. These microcredentials include three or four college-level courses that provide essential skills for career advancement. The courses are 'stackable,' which means they can be used towards a degree or to enhance a resume.

For the Small-Business Operations Bookkeeper microcredential, students must complete the two free courses and a third course, Financial Accounting. John Arpey, J.D., chair of the Business division, noted that these courses equip students with a broad range of skills needed by small and mid-sized businesses.
