Center for Professional and Continuing Education

Workforce Training

The Center for Professional & Continuing Education (CPCE) partners with organizations in all industries: private, public and not-for-profit to assist in increasing their productivity and profitability through employee training and professional development.

Training is tailored to the needs of the employer to help employees at all levels become more proficient, which according to Webster's Dictionary implies a thorough competence derived from training and practice. Experienced, practical instructors drawing upon the resources of the Pacific and other experts provide the training, which may be delivered on campus or at the employer's work site.
