Malibu Institutes' Career Oriented Courses Offer Vital Job Skills without the Need for Going to College

Young adults want to start making money now. Like everything else in their life...they want instant gratification.

Malibu, CA (PRWEB) February 19, 2006 -- Today, a college education is important but Sherry Harris of Malibu, California has devised a different learning program for young men and women who are not willing to pursue a formal college education yet want to enhance their employment skills.

Harris started Malibu Institute (MalibuInstitute.com), an E-learning venture that uses the Internet to facilitate learning for students, in June of 2005. "I started this business when I realized a lot of kids from middle class families were not college bound...not because their parents could not afford it, or the kids did not have the grades, but because they did not want to spend four years of their life in college. I think this concept is important because people need alternatives."

www.MalibuInstitute.com offers "Master's Certificate" programs for Business Management, Programming, Global Supply Chain Management and Sales Management. Content for the courses being offered is through Learn.com and is some of the most up-to-date curriculum available anywhere.

The online education programs were created in cooperation with business and community leaders to provide skills and expertise to students to help them land high in demand positions such as Office Assistant/Manager, Computer Programmer, Developer, Supply Chain Specialist, Sales Manager, and Account Executive.

According to Harris the courses lay an enhanced emphasis on learning of software skills. "One thing that I have learned over the years is that the more software skills you have the more job opportunities you have. That is why I offer a lot of courses specific to software classes."

Students can study at home in the evenings, at work during lunch, or while traveling on business to gain skills they can use immediately upon entering the workforce. The advantage of this type of learning is that the students can complete their online education in just two to three months. "Many of my daughters (age 19 and 20) friends wanted careers where they could start making money now...just like everything else in their life...they wanted instant gratification," says Harris.

To make learning a fun and enjoyable experience the Institute offers games and other entertainment for the students. "I know these kids need entertainment. They get bored easily. That is why I have games (The Lounge) on my site and every kid that registers for one of my programs will receive an iPod in their welcome packages," adds Harris.

"I am not knocking a four year college, but for those who are not prepared for college, can't afford college, have a short attention span or prefer to get up at noon then enter their online class...they have the option of doing so with the MalibuInstitute.com."
