Treasure Valley Community College's Center for Business, Workforce and Community Learning (CBWCL) is your training partner in the design and delivery of innovative solutions to enhance the performance levels of individuals and organizations. Whether you are a business committed to taking your company to the next level or an individual ready to advance in your career, CBWCL can assist you with your goals.

The primary objective of CBWCL is to plan and promote full use of college resources to assist individual, business, industry, and community growth through training and education. All programs are intended to enrich, strengthen, and support those who are not served by the traditional instructional activities of the College. Based upon community interest and need, these programs help our customers upgrade their skills, increase their knowledge, learn a new hobby, advance their careers, solve problems and stimulate their minds. Courses are informal, relaxed and noncompetitive. Most courses will not be graded, nor will the student receive formal college credit, unless respective classes meet certain educational prerequisites. Professional credit and continuing education certificates are available. Courses can be offered at TVCC or onsite at your organization.

We offer courses that cover the complete spectrum of interests including academic, cultural, business related, occupational licensing, regulatory requirements, art, music, physical fitness, travel, gardening, and local history.

  • Workforce Development - We provide training to individuals and companies to improve their general skills, technical skills, and professional knowledge. Not sure exactly which program is right for you? Let us work with you to perform a needs assessment and tailor a program for your company.
