Hodges University Launches Workforce Readiness April 14, 2023 –FORT MYERS, FLA – One of the most consistent answers that organizations of all sizes say they need are professionals with specific skills. Hodges University is answering that need with its Workforce Readiness initiative. “The idea behind Workforce Readiness is to help close the skills gap that organizations across every industry want their employees to have,” said Dr. John Meyer, President of Hodges University. “The answer to fulfilling those needs doesn’t necessarily mean an individual needs a college degree.” Workforce Readiness is all about offering quick training that can range from a few weeks to four months. At the end, the student earns a certificate of completion, along with the knowledge and skills needed to fill a workforce gap. “Workforce Readiness has three, distinct areas of training: online, healthcare, and corporate training,” said Adrian Kerr, Vice President at Hodges University. “These programs cover a wide range of industries and skills. Many of the hundreds of offerings we have available are taught 100 percent online.” Those online areas include insurance, real estate, robotics, EV Tech, automation, renewable energy, technology, criminal justice, software development, and more. There are also computer programming bootcamps. In the area of healthcare, Hodges University offers on-campus EMT training in seven weeks, and one-campus foundations of dental assisting in six weeks. More programs are coming in the near future for phlebotomy and certified nursing assistant (CNA). In Corporate Training, we have professional development courses and workshops in the areas of leadership, customer service, Microsoft Office, and Quickbooks.

Hodges University, a regionally accredited, private nonprofit institution founded in 1990, prepares students to leverage higher learning in their personal, professional, and civic endeavors. With over 14,000 graduates, Hodges is recognized for developing programs that are uniquely designed and delivered to serve a diverse adult learner population. With a campus in Fort Myers, Florida, Hodges provides flexible day, evening, and online classes taught by world-class faculty for undergraduate and graduate degrees. Hodges is also the first Hispanic serving institution in the region, and is a member of the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU).
