Mission

The mission of the Center for Professional Development and Training (CPDT) is to provide learning opportunities to University employees to develop the knowledge and skills needed to perform in their diverse roles of serving students and supporting the learning process. By partnering with departments at the University, CPDT offers expertise, resources and training to assist them in developing consistent and effective delivery of employee learning programs.
