SCI: an innovative training provider in the field of distance education
Employment projections for the years of 2000-2010 show that people, entering the workforce, will need more than twelve years of education and training for only basic entry-level positions. With an increased emphasis on the use of technologies in our society, training is more important than ever. For people, who are not attending a college or university whether due to high tuition costs, a lack of available openings or scheduling conflicts, obtaining this career training can pose a major problem.
There is certainly a need for an education and services for people of twenty five years and older, which can accommodate a schedule, involve work, a family or other commitments. For these students, a post-secondary education at traditional institutions is inaccessible. The distance learning fills this need by making the post-secondary education and training a reality.
Stratford Career Institute (SCI) offers over fifty state-of-the-art, career training distance learning programs, developed specifically for the needs of today's distance education student in mind. The SCI programs are designed by educational specialists and use only the most up-to-date textbooks and materials from North America's largest and most prestigious publishing houses. They are specially planned to give students the skills and training, needed to succeed in the chosen field. Students can work at upgrading existing skills or learn new skills through the SCI guided independent training at a time and place, which is convenient for them. In some cases, the SCI programs diverge from the common offerings of public or proprietary classroom-style schools and constitute unique learning opportunities. In other cases, SCI presents a valuable resource for students, unable to attend such traditional facilities to achieve the equivalent benefits in academic and career programs.
