GRAND FORKS, ND (PRWEB) March 4, 2005 -- In response to overwhelming interest in online, career training certificate programs, the University of North Dakota and other well-known institutions have expanded their course offerings to accommodate what are considered hot trend areas.

The e-learning movement, a segment of adult education that has only scratched the surface of potential enrollees, has taken hold particularly in higher, adult education.

Labor market information released by the North Dakota State Employment Security Agency finds that many popular occupations are expected to experience significant growth in the Indianapolis area through 2012, including but not limited to medical and dental assistants, computer support, and pharmacy technicians.

According to the statistics mentioned above, medical assistants are expected to experience 38 percent growth through 2012. Computer Support positions should rise 31 percent; an addition of 390 jobs. .

Pharmacy technicians will grow by 21 percent, with dental assistants expanding by 30 percent, or 160 jobs.

Job seekers can be trained in these jobs by taking online courses offered at the University of North Dakota. They also offer certification programs in graphic design, home inspection, medical transcription, paralegal, webmaster, and video game programming, all hot trend fields.

These courses are offered through the University of North Dakota via Gatlin Education Services, the largest provider of asynchronous web-based, instructor-supported training to colleges and universities. GES open-enrollment programs are designed to provide the skills necessary to acquire professional caliber positions for many in-demand occupations.
