  Lifespan picks up the price tag of about $125 per hour, said Robert Delaney, director of project development for CCRI's lifelong learning division.
  
  Demand for the classes is so great, more are already being planned, Delaney said.
  
  "Our next step is to design a more advanced program, for those who want to go on," Delaney said.
  ...
  Basic Spanish skills help medical professionals do their job, but the program is not designed to make them fluent, Delaney said.
  
  "What we're doing is giving them the skills to be more competent and confident in their jobs," Delaney said.
  
  The medical field is not the only industry looking for workplace Spanish classes.Delaney said CCRI's lifelong learning division has arranged classes in banks, manufacturing companies and for police and fire personnel, and is planning a class for a Providence-based construction company this fall.

  While CCRI has worked with employers such as Electric Boat and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, according to CCRI's director of project development Bob Delaney, never before has a company decided to run the classroom portion of its apprenticeship out of the college. This approach, Delaney explained, sets employees on a direct career path, showing them how easy it is to take courses at CCRI because they are already doing it.

  "In response to survey's that you will fill out telling us what topics you want us to bring in industry experts for, we will hold one hour monthly or weekly seminars on that topic," said Robert Delaney, Director of Project Development at CCRI.
  
  For more than 15 years the Community College of Rhode Island has offered a simple type of work force training and education program to employees of all fields, in the last five years or so, however, they have stepped up the program.They have added a much more complex customized corporate training program as well as a lifelong learning programs and a training and technology center among several other things.
  
  "We realize that the success of your business is determined by the ability of your staff to meet the needs of your customers and we realize that every business is unique in its training needs, so by partnering with the Chamber we are hoping to bring 15 people together from three, or four, or five different small businesses to offer the kind of training that you tell us you need to make your business be more efficient in the most cost effective manner possible," Delaney said.
  
  With all of the most recent upgrades and modifications from the original program, students at the Community College of Rhode Island are now able to enroll in a multitude of non-credit courses ranging from Cultivating Customer Loyalty and
  
  Lead Mitigation to Web Graphics and Publication to creating your Individual Business Identity.
  
  "As business people you are all aware of the brand new challenges that you are faced with each and every day," Delaney said."And because of the technology of today, you all realize how competitive you have to be in order to be successful in business.So, what we want to do by partnering with the Chamber, is offer you and your employees the kind of cost effective training that they need to be more efficient in their work.And remember their is no better tool for training than one that is right in your own backyard."
  
  In the recent past, the Community College of Rhode Island has opened up their new training program to such large companies as Lifespan and CVS to smaller businesses such as those trade shops located in the Quonset Manufacturing Center.They have recruited top officials from the Department of Environmental Management agency, the Coastal Resources Management agency, the American Architects, Civil Engineer experts and OSHA representatives to come into train those employees.
  
  "In response to the areas of change that we are seeing in places such as West Warwick we want to in turn provide you with the range of services an industry expert can offer to you and your employees whether they are for personal enrichment or certification courses," Delaney said.

  "We built a curriculum based on the needs of the employers," said Robert Delaney, director of CCRI's Center for Business and Industrial Training, which set up the program."There is a huge demand for welders, and what CCRI is offering are pre-screened, high-quality people."
  
  CCRI HAS LONG had relationships with employers at Quonset Point-Davisville -- especially with Electric Boat, with which it has a partnership to offer on-site classes for 59 workers pursuing associate's degrees.
  
  But last December, after a survey by the college and the state Economic Development Corporation found an overwhelming need for job training among the industrial park's 127 tenants, CCRI decided to step up its efforts.
  
  ...
  Delaney said he expects the plans to be ready by the committee's meeting next week.
  ...
  The starting pay for welders at Quonset is about $12 to $14 an hour, Delaney said, much better than what most clients of the one-stop job centers earn.The partnership and the Providence/Cranston Workforce Development Board -- another one-stop job-center partner -- agreed to provide federal-funded vouchers to cover the $1,900 tuition, stipulating only that students wouldn't be trained specifically for Electric Boat, but for any company that needed welders.
  
  To recruit the first class, the two agencies and the EDC began what was to be a six-week advertising campaign.They stopped after four days, Delaney said, already flooded with 160 applications.
  
  ...
  Many people try to learn welding, but few stick with it for long -- company-sponsored programs routinely lose as many as half their recruits, Delaney said.To try to avoid that kind of attrition, CCRI developed standards for the one-stop job centers to use in evaluating candidates.They gave them an online skills assessment, in which they had to score at least 50 percent.
  
  Applicants also had to have ninth-grade math and literacy skills; for those who didn't, the Human Resources Investment Council allowed CCRI to use a special grant to offer an accelerated literacy course to help them catch up.

  Robert Delaney, of the CCRI Division of Lifelong Learning, developed the program after winning a grant from the State Energy Office.
  
  The class is designed for professional electricians, he said, but is open to owners of homes or businesses who are interested in learning about solar panel installation.
  
  Students will learn to install two types of solar panels, Delaney said, rooftop panels and panels that are bolted to concrete on the ground.
  ...
  "People are just more conscious of the cost of energy and the need for alternative forms," Delaney said.
  
  "This program is evidence that there's more of a demand" for solar power, he said.

  "The companies that will be hiring these people are the companies that are driving the industry," said Bob Delaney, director of project development at CCRI's Division of Lifelong Learning.

  Guided by the Economic Development Corporation, Robert Delaney, director of CCRI's Center for Business and Industrial Training, had explored Quonset and found only two available properties: a vacant airplane hangar, and a 10,000-square-foot building on Airport Road.
  
  ...
  But right away, Sepe and Delaney started working behind the scenes, hoping to get approval at the committee's next meeting.
