Forest Park Junior College will offer four training courses for jobs at the People’s Community School at Hamilton this semester.
Courses will include a high school refresher course, total patient care for practical nurses, basic security officer functions and procedures and an introduction to data processing.
Tuition for the courses will be $45 with three college credits allowed for each course. Students do not have to have a high school diploma.
A community meeting about the courses and others that the community might want will be held at St. Roch’s Church Aug. 25 at 8 p.m. Dean Peter Mergenovich will talk about the courses at that time.
Following is a description of the courses:
