Announcements:  
 

The Department of Workforce Development/Division of Career Services (DWD/DCS) is pleased to announce the extension of the MindLeaders Online Learning opportunity through January of 2008 for Massachusetts workforce system staff.

Experience to date has demonstrated these self-paced e-learning courses to be a valuable asset in promoting personal, professional and technical skills development. During 2006, approximately 500 colleagues took 4,000 MindLeaders courses and reported very positive feedback throughout the system.

To explore the updated course catalogue including 672 courses and videos, visit

While MindLeaders licenses are provided at no cost, they are limited in number. As in 2006, this offering is open to system staff, but not to customers. Each participating staff member will require approval from their manager in order to retain their existing license or to sign up for a new license.
