The School
of Extended Learning’s Office of Continuing Education is responsible for
planning and scheduling professional development and continuing education
opportunities for individuals interested in advancing professionally and
personally. Many of these programs are a
collaborative effort between the College of Business
and Public Administration (CBPA) and the Office of Continuing
Education and utilize the resources of the CBPA.
Our
programs offer the opportunity to acquire advance training and certification with
courses such as the Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Certificate or the American Home
Inspectors Training. Also our Supply
Chain Optimization Leadership Overview course demonstrates the benefits and the
approach of the Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) Supply Chain
Optimization program that helps reduce risk, increase visibility and builds
stronger manufacturers.
Another
exciting, upcoming program is the GSU Faculty Development in International
Business (FDIB) Workshops, which will take place on June 10-11th. Led by the CBPA faculty who are content
experts on the relevant topics, this program is sponsored by a US Department of
Education grant and is offered at minimum cost to participants.
Furthermore,
in order to provide an even greater selection of programs, Governors State has
partnered with OnCourse Learning. They
are an exceptional provider of quality, state approved, customized training
solutions, textbooks, and occupational tools for both pre-licensing and
continuing education. Courses include
the real estate, appraisal, mortgage, home inspection, IT, engineering,
insurance, and bank and credit union industries.
The university
also offers professional development through the Illinois Small Business
Development Center at GSU and the International Trade Center. Both of these organizations offer existing
businesses or start-ups an opportunity to receive consulting and training
expertise. Please see the School of
Extended Learning’s website for information on all of these continuing
educational opportunities.
In every
college we have outstanding programs and world-class professors; all focused on
delivering academic excellence in a small-class setting. Academic excellence and
innovation are natural partners. At Governors State University you’ll find an
abundance of both. We
look forward to helping you achieve your educational and career goals.
