The School of Continuing Education (SCE) was established by the joining of three IRSC training divisions: The National Preparedness Institute, The Corporate and Community Training Institute, and The Fielden Institute for Life Long Learning. This combination represents a combined 50 years of providing a diverse range of professional community training. Under the School of Continuing Education umbrella, IRSC offers high-quality workforce trainings, certification programs, consulting, and personal enrichment courses to meet the needs of the workforce community, including corporations, government, non-profits, first responders, and life-long learners of all ages on a local, state, national and international level. Under this MOA, IRSC-SCE will provide a series of training and/or instruction to City Public Works employees on the operation of heavy equipment. Please note that the names of the employees participating in the training courses are subject to change.
