ST. GEORGE — In response to the economical impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, Dixie State University has launched a certificate program that will train people for jobs that are in high demand.
The DSU CARES program, funded by the coronavirus relief bill, was developed to assist local residents whose employment has been affected by COVID-19. In order to qualify for this program, a person must have both completed high school (or the equivalent) and been recently furloughed, laid-off or underemployed due to the pandemic.
The program offers a number of certificate programs in business, technology and health care at a significant discount – courses are just $20 per credit, which is a 90% savings off regular tuition.
Darlene Dilley, assistant vice president for enrollment management, told St. George News that some of the certificates that have received initial approval include: accounting and information systems and marketing, advanced emergency medical technician, information technology, medical laboratory assistant and design. There is a second round of certificates currently in the approval process, she said.
