Today's jobs tend to require greater degrees of specialization and expertise than just a few decades ago. The workforce has become increasingly educated, and the success of a given company largely rests with how well its workforce has been trained. This program is designed to provide trainers, training managers, and educators with a foundation of knowledge and skills that will allow them to better develop, facilitate, and oversee adult education; organization-based training and development programs; and continuing education. This four-course certificate is designed to provide participants with a general understanding of needs assessment, program development, instruction, and delivery issues, as well as methods and models for evaluation and assessment, including the impact on the bottom line. It is designed to benefit adult educators, corporate trainers, and those who develop or oversee these programs. Courses from this certificate program may be applied toward the Master of Education.
