The Department of Adult and Workforce Education at the College of The Ouachitas (COTO) actively meets with industries and businesses throughout five counties to meet professional training needs and workplace skills. Those Counties include: Hot Spring, Clark, Dallas, Saline, and Grant.

Local employers agree that the college provides dynamic, up-to-date training customized to upgrade the knowledge, skills, and work understanding necessary for training today's workforce for current and future businesses.

The COTO offers a competitive advantage to businesses through quickly responding to the needs of your business or industry in providing the most efficient and cost effective curriculum. Key indicators of the curriculum involve: leadership, technology, teamwork, quality, and customer orientation.

Many manufacturing businesses find that the price of the training is very affordable since the State of Arkansas provides some reimbursement to those entities that qualify.

If your business or industry does not have enough training space, the professionals at COTO can work with you on holding sessions at the College.
