National Education Foundation funding skill development training center in Potsdam

Posted

POTSDAM -- SUNY Potsdam's Department of Business Administration recently received a $20,000 grant from the National Education Foundation (NEF) to open a training center that supports international skill development.

This contribution is part of $900,000 in support for STEM education and skill development that the NEF has provided through collaboration with SUNY Potsdam since 2012.

The NEF Training Center, located in Dunn Hall at SUNY Potsdam, will serve as a central hub for supporting the development of employability skills-notably entrepreneurship, cybersecurity, project management and STEM education.

Courses will be offered on SUNY Potsdam's campus and online, with some classes being a hybrid-combining both in-person and online education.

Some of the classes will provide graduate-level credit, which is transferrable into SUNY Potsdam's new graduate program in management.

The other courses offered through the training center are non-credit certificate courses.

The training center was officially opened on Dec. 14, 2018.
