Certificate in Workplace Learning
The support of learning is a critical function in any organization. As a learning professional, you support your organization by understanding the needs of your particular industry as well as the adult learners who are your clients. You are a team player, coach, mentor, course and curriculum developer, and administrator. You are aware of the need to understand the role of technologies in instruction and administration as well as trends in your communities, your organizations, and in society at large that affect your workplace.
And while many of you have very responsible positions, only a small percentage of corporate learning professionals have had formal education in adult learning and designing and managing organizational training programs. However, you may have years of work experience and degrees in other areas. This Program is targeted at you. We believe that by bringing together individuals who already hold a bachelor's degree and have at least one year work experience in the field, there will be an opportunity for high level investigation and discussion of research and workplace learning practices that impact our profession.
The purpose of this program is to provide meaningful learning opportunities for training professionals to study in an integrated curriculum that has immediate applicability to their professional responsibilities.
At the conclusion of the program, graduates should be able to:
- Apply innovative, empirically sound techniques to assess workplace learning needs
- Design and implement workplace learning interventions, both live and mediated
- Analyze, synthesize, and evaluate workplace learning interventions
- Discuss and apply theoretical foundations of adult learning to effective workplace learning interventions
- Identify and evaluate current literature and practices in workplace learning
