Priority Sector

Bookkeeping professionals are hired by companies/employers in all sectors. Within the LA workforce, most are likely from the "Advanced Manufacturing" and the "Retail, Hospitablity, And Tourism" sectors.

If this is a program modification, please provide a brief description of the changes to the program. A bulleted list of key changes is acceptable.
We are seeking to convert the existing Department Certificate into a Certificate of Achievement. It is best for students to have the classes transcripted. This is already a very popular popular certificate.
