The program in Workforce and Program Development prepares individuals to meet the challenges of designing, developing and implementing interventions to support employers, employees, as well as individuals who are underemployed and unemployed. From trainers to counselors to curriculum developers, graduates work in a variety of organizations to support career and technical education and training. The program is designed to prepare graduates to plan, supervise, conduct, and evaluate workforce and training programs in business, industry, and government.
