In-House Training Center (IHTC)

The IHTC provides needed on-going training to classified, faculty, and administrative personnel on a variety of topics using the expertise from within Cerro Coso College. A primary goal is to keep the training brief and targeted so that members will be motivated to attend the training. By promoting on-the-job training in an easily accessible format, the expectation is that Cerro Coso’s employees will become more efficient, effective, and a more skilled workforce.

Topics & Trainers

Training topics are not limited just to computer software. Our Community College system is diverse, and within Cerro Coso College alone there are numerous procedures and processes for employees to learn and understand. The purpose of the IHTC is to provide the training you need, regardless of what kind of training that may be. When recommending or requesting training topics, keep in mind that the topics don't have to be limited to things on a computer. View list of current training topics in demand.

"Teach what you know!"

The trainers are you! Every employee at the college has the potential to be an IHTC trainer. "Teach what you know" is the motto of the IHTC and everyone has a set of skills and expertise that they could share with others here at the college. The intent of the training sessions are to be targeted to no more than 1 or 2 topics, with no preparation involved, no handouts and no PowerPoints. All we're looking for is for trainers to be able to walk in and share what they already know with others to help build collective knowledge, increase efficiency and boost productivity. So, what do you know? Reserve your training session today!

Certificates of Achievement

Both trainees and trainers have the opportunity to earn Certificates of Achievement for the number of sessions they attend or offer. Each group of 10 sessions attended or offered, the equivalent of 5 hours of training, earns a certificate. Participants are responsible for tracking their own progress and may request a Certificate of Achievement upon completion and verification of each group of 10 sessions.

These certificates demonstrate a commitment to  professional development and may be submitted to supervisors as part of performance evaluation packets and they may be added to your employee records to recognize training received. (see sample)
