With the help of a $1.9 million in state funding, New Britain’s Charter Oak State College will work with state officials to form an online workforce-training school for state employees, officials announced.
The CT Education Academy will offer online courses to supplement in-person instruction offered by the state’s Department of Administrative Services.
The initiative is meant to reduce the state’s training costs, Charter Oak said.
The academy will launch this fall by offering required training in diversity, workplace violence and sexual harassment. Other courses, some of which would be eligible for college credit, will be developed over the next five years.
