Three Types of Programming
Events allow students to sample different professional subjects while emphasizing active learning of emerging skills.
Trainings enhance skills and cement expertise through sessions centered around a single subject. Successful completion is recognized with a microcredential, which can be added to a resume and LinkedIn.
Immersions are seven-week deep dives that combine skills training with company-sponsored real-world project execution, paving the way for future employment opportunities. Participants also earn advanced microcredentials.

Unlocking Potential
Now more than ever, savvy students are seeking ways to add clear, verifiable differentiators to their resumes and portfolios.
We believe the Professional Edge suite of programming is so valuable, it has become required training for student club leadership, Oregon Consulting Group, and admission to the Lundquist College of Business Honors Program.
In this way and others, Professional Edge empowers our students to unlock their fullest potential and thrive in their future careers.
As the college grows and expands the Professional Edge model beyond our walls, we aim to support companies and individuals interested in advancing their careers and keeping their employees fresh.
