Off-Campus Programs and Services
Though we are based at the largest worksite in western Massachusetts, the University of Massachusetts/Amherst, we also provide workplace and communtiy education programs throughout the Commonwealth. Our off-campus programs and services include a diverse array of classes, workshops, workplace needs assessments, grant writing and research services to employers, unions, communities, organizations and institutions who are interested in upgrading the skills of their employees or members.

Learn at Work - Adult Education for Early Childhood Education providers (ECE)
UMass Labor/Management Workplace Education provides educational services to entry level Early Childhood Education (ECE) workers while working in partnership with Early Childhood Centers of Greater Springfield Inc., New North Citizen’s Council, New Beginnings Childcare, and UAW Local 2322. Classes in Springfield focus on the Childhood Development Associate (CDA) certificate credential requirements, state and national early childcare competencies, and Common Core State Standards in English and math. Six classes, funded by Commonwealth Corporation for three years, prepare childcare workers to earn their CDA as they practice and define their workplace and college readiness skills.
