Each year, we work with dozens of organizations to offer professional development training programs onsite. We can bring any of our professional development programs to your organization, exactly as we offer them to the public or with any amount of customization you require. We also custom build programs on topics that we don’t currently offer for public enrollment.
Here are some examples of recent programs. They show you the variety of topics we cover. We do programs as short as a few hours all the way up to multisession programs that cover a series of topics over weeks or months.
Project Management
Our eight-day certificate in Project Management is tremendously popular throughout the Pacific Northwest. Participants learn a mix of planning and team-leadership skills to guide any project to success.
Accelerated Supervision
Our newest program, this five-day intensive series teachers your supervisors everything they need to know to hire and development top quality employees, all while following legal rules and guidelines.
Finance for the Non-Accountant

Sales Management and Leadership
This multiday program takes on both sides of selling: the nuts and bolts of sales techniques as well as motivation and leadership skills to inspire sales teams and customers to respond to your influence.
Business Writing
Our multisession business writing program gives participants a chance to learn writing and communication skills in the classroom, with time between sessions to complete assignments that apply learning to the workplace.

These sessions can take your high-potential workers in any discipline and turn them into effective on-the-job-trainers for co-workers. Learn about how adults learn and techniques to connect with adult learning in the workplace.
These are just examples of our work. We also cover topics like lean management, six sigma, HR management, IT software training, web design, organization development, and more. And any topic can be shortened or expanded to fit your needs and budget. Contact Vincent Fritzsche at 503-725-5846 or vincentf@pdx.edu to talk more about your situation.
