The Illinois Tech Office of Professional and Continuing Education (OPCE) helps organizations and individuals build capabilities in the ongoing pursuit of innovative knowledge and skills, enhancing skills and knowledge for professional growth.
Members of the Illinois Tech learning community can get involved with OPCE in many ways:
Be a course facilitator: as a course facilitator, you will give faculty feedback on course development, sit in on classes, manage small group discussions, assist with assessment and coaching, and help promote the course through your social media channels.
Give us feedback on topics and courses that would interest alumni: we would love to hear from you about what types of programs we should offer. Your feedback may include great classes you took at Illinois Tech that you think others might be interesting in, new knowledge required to stay ahead of the curve at your job, or ways you want to spend your L&D budget.
Create a custom program for your organization: we are already working with several organizations to build custom programs in the areas of leadership, project management, product development process, and design. Don't hesitate to get in touch with us if your organization is looking to create custom training (in any of the numerous areas that Illinois Tech has expertise in); we would be happy to share our ideas and capabilities and co-create a bespoke program based on your needs.
Email us at OPCE@iit.edu if you are interested in exploring one or more of these ways to get involved.
