Graphic Design - Employment Skills Training Program, Job Training Program
About the program
Graphic designers create visual concepts, using computer software or by hand, to communicate ideas that inspire, inform, and captivate consumers. Graphic Design Training at CFCC is transferable into the CFCC Graphic Design Associate's Degree program. Graphic Design Training at CFCC is composed of 3 16-week courses: Foundations of Graphic Design, Adobe Essentials, and Website Design & Application.Employment of graphic designers is projected to grow 2 percent from 2024 to 2034, slower than the average for all occupations. Despite limited employment growth, about 20,000 openings for graphic designers are projected each year, on average, over the decade. Most of those openings are expected to result from the need to replace workers who transfer to different occupations or exit the labor force, such as to retire.
