About Certificate Programs

Certificate Programs offer targeted, timely training…

…for individuals who are looking to begin a career, add new skills to their current professions, or supplement on-the-job training. Classes focus on practical, best practice information with ample opportunities to practice skills and interact with colleagues. Program instructors are selected for their experience in the field and their ability to teach adults. Classes are very diverse with participants representing many kinds of organizations—corporate, nonprofit, and governmental—and a wide of range work experience and educational background.
