Continuum @ Columbia College

Supporting You & Your Business

By offering paths of educational programs and services for all education levels and generations, Continuum @ Columbia College blends the rich history and the pioneering spirit of education at Columbia College.

Our goals are your goals: successful students, an engaged workforce, and economic advancement for your organization and for our community.

What is Continuum @ Columbia College?

We eliminate barriers to make education approachable and positive for all types of learners. You may be a student who is not on a traditional full-time, campus-based path; we’ll meet you where you are. You may need customized training specific to your organization or industry; we’ll meet you where you are too.

For you: innovators, career changers, solopreneurs, dreamers, and forever curious.
For employers: corporate, small businesses, nonprofits, and the public sector.
For the community: by working hand-in-hand with our partners in the region.

Join the Continuum

We'd like to invite you to attend our upcoming focus groups. We'll ask you to share your top workforce challenges and give us feedback on our Continuum ideas. You'll also have the opportunity to connect with leaders at other like-minded organizations. If you're unable to make a focus group session, we hope you'll take advantage of a 1:1 virtual session with our Continuum leaders.

As a thank you for your feedback, we're offering each participating organization a $100 credit toward badge or certificate programs offered by Continuum @ Columbia College.
