Hudson County Community College (HCCC) announces a new, four-course Social Justice Workplace Competencies Certificate Program specifically designed for criminal justice professionals and others who wish to strengthen agency-community partnerships and enhance their existing social justice skill set.
The courses will be taught by law enforcement professionals live on ZOOM, Saturday mornings and weekday evenings, from October 2021 through February 2022.

Reber.
