The program will involve a regular set of programming, as well as a trip that will tour several cities in China. Weber said that although an itinerary has yet to be set in stone, the institute plans to set up meetings with Chinese business leaders who could act as potential business partners for those in the program.
"Basically, this is really a business-focused trip," Weber said.
Prior to the merger that created Miami's Corporate and Community Institute, each campus had a Continuing Education and Business Industry Center.
According to both McNab and Weber, the merger of the two offices allows for expanded course offerings, lower operational costs and a more job specific staff, since the offices now share resources and advertise as one unit.
"Combining our offerings into one catalogue-it shows the community that sees our catalogue the full range of opportunities available at both campuses," Weber said. "Also, when a company contacts us, because we are one unit, we can respond very quickly to their needs because we don't need to contact Hamilton or Middletown."
The institute also offers open enrollment classes in topics such as Spanish for travelers and basic business skills. Open enrollment courses do not grant college credit and are open to any member of the public.
