Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Academic Programs/Majors

Education is not the sole province of schools. Programs of instruction are conducted by many businesses, industries, in the military, and by other groups and organizations. Planning and providing this instruction is the province of professionals usually identified as “trainers.” In our technological society, training programs have become increasingly complex and demands on trainers have increased. Greater expertise on their part is required. This all-university specialization addresses needs for preservice and in-service education for trainers.

This program is intended for students who have expertise in areas such as engineering, technology, education, business, government, military and labor, and who desire to become involved in development and implementation of training programs. Contact the specialization director for further information.
