Marketing Your Business with Social Media
South Seattle Community College
DURATION Two and a half hours (October 14). CLASS FEE $39. WHO IT’S FOR Tentative tweeters, fearful Facebookers, sorry souls who still think MySpace is hip. WHAT YOU’LL LEARN That proper business etiquette frowns upon “poking” your clients. Social media sites are just for kids, so how useful could they be for business owners, what with their capability for free information dissemination to a targeted audience of web-savvy consumers with considerable buying power? Yeah, you don’t want to learn anything about that, or about which free service is the best for attracting new clients. You should skip this course and go to the one about fax-based marketing instead. GETTING STARTED Visit learnatsouth.org.
Human Resources Management
Bellevue College
DURATION About nine months. TUITION $2,500. WHO IT’S FOR De facto HR reps without official training, frustrated cat herders. WHAT YOU’LL LEARN That people are strange, whether or not you’re a stranger. Placating personnel and solving ethical dilemmas is sticky stuff, and if you got stuck doing it despite never having gone to school to learn how, on-the-job training can be a dicey proposition. Lo, you can go to night school and snag some skills in conflict resolution. GETTING STARTED Call 425-564-3172 or visit conted.bcc.ctc.edu/business; new classes begin almost every week.
