Professional Development Programs

Certificate Programs

PDP student

Our certificate programs provide an opportunity to examine a new field, refresh your skill-set within your current industry, and demonstrate to others that you have the discipline to work toward a specific goal. Our certificate programs offer concentrated hands-on training in areas directly applicable to many jobs. Completing a certificate program can add breadth and depth to your existing knowledge and skills. Successfully completing a certificate program provides you with documentation of approved specific formal study, career-oriented training to complement a degree, and increased job skills and knowledge for your current job or for a career change. 

Our instructors are leading practitioners and industry experts. They bring real-world experience into the classroom to create hand-on, practical training for working adults. In each class, you are joined by industry colleagues and like-minded adults. Our courses and certificate programs offer a chance to network and make new connections within your field and into new avenues for professional growth.

If you have questions about a specific certificate program or course, contact us by email at pce@usm.maine.edu or by phone at (207) 780-5900.
