Continuing Education Center seeking innovative instructors
Placeholder Image

The Continuing Education Center at Georgia Southern University is recruiting instructors who can put their expertise to work in new training programs in a range of formats.

To streamline the process, the Center has launched a Web site to accept instructional proposals from individuals with teaching experience and expertise in one or more subjects. The target audiences for these subjects are the general public, professionals, seniors and youth.

Proposals submitted through http://ceps.georgiasouthern.edu/conted/teachCE.html should feature innovative ideas for classes, workshops, training sessions, lectures or other education experiences for professional development (corporations and businesses), personal development or leisure activities.

The Web site provides proposal guidelines and features an online proposal submission form. The site also includes several program ideas that need qualified instructors as soon as possible.

For more information, contact Director of Continuing Education and Assistant Dean Tony Bretti at (912) 681-5442.

To help cover the shortfall, the district may raise the property tax millage rate, potentially increasing homeowners’ taxes by up to 12 percent.
