Build knowledge, skills through UMaine’s summer and fall professional development programs
For people seeking to start a new career or advance within their current one, the University of Maine Division of Lifelong Learning has made available several online programs for professional development this summer and fall.
The programs are designed to benefit professionals from a range of sectors, including healthcare, education and nonprofits, as well as people who are unemployed or underemployed. They offer training in grant writing, domestic violence intervention, leadership, public speaking and mediation, among others.
The full program list and additional details are available on the Division of Lifelong Learning website. Most programs are online and synchronous, with a couple held in person.
A certificate of completion and Continuing Education Units will be available. Reduced rates are available for groups of four or more participants from a single employer who register together for the same program. Eligible employers can also apply for Maine Workforce Development Compact funding.In addition to scheduled programs, requests for custom programming on various professional development topics are welcome.
