魅影直播 State is offering free 30-hour non-credit microcredentials in heavy equipment welding, brake repair, A/C service and more. Tuition is covered by the Empire State Development Microcredentialing Options Enhancing the WNY Workforce Grant.
Each of the programs is set up with ten hours of self-paced online instruction. The online instruction allows students to watch the videos on their own schedule and review as much as they like. This instruction will be coupled with twenty hours of in-person lab work on the Wellsville campus. Class sizes are limited for each of the programs.
