For the past two years, Workforce Solutions, a government-funded not-for-profit, has been partnering with businesses and local schools like Austin Community College to develop a series of training courses to help people upgrade their skills and earn certifications. The modules are built to be accessible to people well into their careers - recognizing that a 40-year-old isn't likely to have two or four years to return to school full time - and focus on Austin...
