  • New York, NY (1888PressRelease) September 03, 2011 - Last year, 3.2 million American jobs went unfilled due to a lack of qualified applicants. On Wednesday, September 7, 2011, the Continuing and Professional Studies (CPS) division of The City College of New York answers the call in its Fall Open House. The division exists to support adults and children interested in growing intellectually, expanding their horizons and advancing their careers. Employers are also encouraged to attend the Open House to explore how CPS can serve their staff training needs.

    Continuing and Professional Studies boasts an all-star faculty, an exciting array of classes and several key certifications for high-demand industries including nursing assistants, counseling, personal training, security and administration. Leading faculty members at CPS include "America's Psychologist" and Host of VH1's "Dad Camp", Dr. Jeff Gardere; White House guest chef, food activist and restaurateur Marcus Samuelsson; Tony-nominated actress, screenwriter and producer Lonette McKee; Apollo Theater Communications Director and actress Flo Wiley; and much more.

    Over 1,000 people are expected at the Open House, which will feature food, door prizes and special presentations by top faculty of The City College of New York's division for Continuing and Professional Studies. Attendants will have an opportunity to explore and register for courses while enjoying Zumba, self-defense and other demonstrations. Two lucky grand-prize winners will receive all-expense paid trips to sunny Orlando, Florida.

    At a time of national concern around unemployment, underemployment and growing national debt, The City College of New York provides a powerful vehicle for real-life opportunity and personal development for families, professionals and employers alike.

    CPS faculty are excited about the upcoming season. Andrew Morrison, small business expert and guest on the Oprah Show, will be teaching courses in both Stress Management and Small Business Development. Says Morrison, "It takes a truly unique individual to invest in his/her personal development even as an adult. Continuing and Professional Studies is a powerful vehicle for those who are serious about transforming their lives into success stories."

    The CPS Open House will be held on the campus of The City College of New York in the Great Hall of Shepard Hall, Convent Avenue at 140th Street, New York, NY 10031. The Open House will run in two sessions, 2-4pm and 6-8pm. Admission to the event is free, though RSVPs should be made to guarantee space at 1-800-862-0337 or online at http://ccnyopenhouse.eventbrite.com.
