Welcome to the Department of 
The Department of Workforce Education provides and administers programs and experiences aimed at meeting the needs of two groups of students: pre-service personnel and in-service personnel. The pre-service programs are designed primarily to prepare persons to enter the chosen field of employment for the first time. The in-service programs are designed primarily for persons who are already employed and who need training or retraining in order to upgrade their professional preparation to maintain their current job or to develop new competencies in order to obtain employment in new jobs.
The programs in the department prepare persons primarily to teach, coordinate, supervise, and administer career and technical education programs in public and private schools and agencies. Although most of the programs are designed for entry into the field of education, experiences are available in several programs to enhance the opportunities for employment in business and industry.
