The Center connects short-form learning to a complete talent-development journey.

  • LEARN

    Build focused AI, data, cloud, and industry-driven skills.

  • VERIFY

    Earn credentials and complete exams closer to campus.

  • APPLY

The three pillars reinforce one another.

Each pillar removes a different barrier between learning and workforce readiness.

Credential pathways

Industry-recognized certifications, microcredentials, and focused workshops delivered in manageable learning experiences.

On-campus testing

A convenient place to complete certification exams with a future path toward an authorized examination center.

Applied experiences

Participants apply new skills through corporate projects, small businesses, or study abroad opportunities.

Engineering-led. University-wide. Community-connected.

WHY THIS CENTER EXISTS

Employers increasingly look for candidates who can show, not just tell, what they know. A verified credential in AI, data, or security — alongside real workplace experience — helps our students stand out from day one. The Center brings both under one roof: a dedicated laboratory, on-campus certification testing, and a work-based learning program built for students who are ready to work but haven't had the chance yet.

  • EARN A CREDENTIAL
    Earn industry-recognized credentials and certifications in high-demand skills delivered through focused, short-form workshops on campus.
  • REAL-WORLD APPLICATION

    Gain credit-bearing practical experience through work-based learning opportunities through corporate internships, small business projects, and study abroad programs.

  • GET SUPPORT EVERY STEP

    Testing center, proactive advising, peer mentorship, and coaching from the College of Engineering Student Success Center and Student Services.
