CHIEFLAND, Fla. (Aug. 14, 2020) — The College of Central Florida has partnered with CareerSource Citrus Levy Marion to help Levy County residents access a free, dynamic online training platform.
SkillUp® Citrus Levy Marion features over 5,000 courses through the Metrix Learning system that can lead to more than 180 in-demand industry certificates.
Those without the internet connection needed to access SkillUp may use a designated computer lab at the CF Jack Wilkinson Levy Campus. Beginning Aug. 28, the lab will be available Wednesdays and Fridays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Levy Campus is located at 15390 U.S. Hwy 19 just north of Chiefland.
“This is a great opportunity for Levy County residents who are looking to advance in their career by achieving one or more certifications,” said Holly McGlashan, provost of CF’s Levy Campus. “We are excited about the partnership with CareerSource and are happy to provide the access community members might need to land a new job or move up with their current employer.”
McGlashan added that to maintain social distancing and comply with other public health precautions, anyone interested in scheduling lab time to access SkillUp should call 352-658-4077. Those using the lab are required to wear face masks.
SkillUp is ideal for anyone looking to improve skills, earn industry certificates, work their way up the career ladder or launch into new careers. The SkillUp portal can be reached 24/7 at citruslevymarion.skillupamerica.org.
“While the program allows participants to learn at their own pace, we realize that distance learning can’t work if you don’t have an internet connection,” said Rusty Skinner, CEO of CareerSource Citrus Levy Marion. “That is why we are so pleased CF is making it easy for anyone to access this program.”
CareerSource CLM connects businesses with qualified, skilled talent and Floridians with employment and career development opportunities. All services are provided at no charge and are accessible by phone, email, Live Chat and video conferencing. In-person meetings with staff are available by appointment only at the Levy County career center, 2175 NW 11th Dr., in Chiefland. The center is located in the Suwannee Plaza near the Walmart Supercenter.
