     HAMMOND Southeastern Louisiana University’s Division of Extended Studies is offering non-credit courses for both career and personal enrichment this spring.
     New spring 2012 non-credit career enrichment courses offered include Business Writing, Introduction to AutoCAD Drafting, Introduction to Screenwriting, Basic Film Acting, and Digital Voice Court Recording. New courses in personal enrichment include Introduction to Social Media for Senior Citizens, Astrology ‘Sun Signs 12 Keys to the Soul,’ and Introduction to Stained Glass.
     “Workforce and professional development continues to be a focus for 2012 Continuing U course offerings” said Joan Gunter, assistant vice president for extended studies. “Our courses are designed to build participants’ resumes and to assist organizations with professional development through customized training.
     “Our career enrichment courses underscore the value of continuing education, especially for top demand occupations in Louisiana,” Gunter added. “By providing continuing education units (CEU’s), Southeastern’s non-credit courses assist participants with their personal career portfolio and organizations with a nationally recognized standard for training.”
     Existing non-credit courses such as SHRM (Society of Human Resource Management) Test Prep, Notary Test Prep and ACT Test Prep are offered in Hammond, Mandeville, and Walker. Personal enrichment courses such as How to Write a Novel, Digital Photography, Instant Piano for Busy People and Beginning Harmonica are being offered due to their popularity, Gunter said.
     Southeastern offers a wide variety of non-credit courses taught by Southeastern faculty and qualified professional instructors. Classes are offered at Southeastern’s main campus in Hammond, the Livingston Literacy and Technology Center in Walker, and the St. Tammany Center in Mandeville.
