From certificate programs to comprehensive workshops and training seminars, the University of Maine Hutchinson Center is committed to providing professional development programs to Maine’s workforce, right here in midcoast Maine.

Our professional development programs are designed to benefit professionals from a range of sectors, including healthcare workers, educators and members of nonprofit organizations, as well as people who are unemployed, underemployed or trying to make a change in their careers. 

All winter 2021 programs will be held synchronously via Zoom. Class sizes are small and the programs are engaging and highly interactive (programs are not prerecorded!).

Given their online nature, these professional development programs are accessible to professionals nationwide, offering an opportunity to further expand your professional networks.
