The Pensacola State College Institute for Corporate & Professional Services delivers continuing workforce education training to businesses and individuals wishing to upgrade or develop new skills.

How does this differ from Pensacola State College? We are part of the Department for Workforce and Economic Development at Pensacola State College (or Pensacola State College). It is our mission to take the tremendous job that Pensacola State College does and apply it to the Pensacola Bay area workforce. In academic terms, we deliver non-credit classes that are part of professional continuing education. In corporate terms, we are an out source for corporate training, and we’ll deliver training anytime, anywhere.

How are we the same as Pensacola State College? We’ll work with you to build a Corporate College, credit classes delivered at your site. We facilitate discussion between your HR and Pensacola State College faculty, and build a program that not only create more valuable employees, but begins their journey to a college degree.

Our training programs are designed to provide the skills that companies need to excel. We offer both open enrollment and customized training programs which can be delivered on your schedule and at your desired location.

Training Your Way

It is our mandate to provide workforce education in a format that is easy to access and learning-centered. In order to make the best option available to you, we offer virtually any option. We can deliver any training in any format at any location. No kidding!
However, in the interest of presenting those options to you in most coherent manner possible, we group our training & education in the formats below:

 

OPEN ENROLLMENT

This option is very simple. We offer certain courses on a set schedule at different Pensacola State College campuses. Individuals sign up and attend class, much like a traditional college format. This option typically offers the lowest course fees. Only a small percentage of the classes that the Pensacola State College Institute has to offer are delivered this way.

 

CORPORATE COLLEGE

We work to create a special program that delivers traditional Pensacola State College college-credit classes at your work location. The Center for Corporate and Professional Development Training Centers works to liaison between your company and Pensacola State College department heads to create certificate programs that are right for your employees. This is a great way to start employees on the road to a college degree!

 

CUSTOM TRAINING

Any class that is in our catalog, at any location, at any time. And if we don’t currently offer the training that you are seeking, we will dive into the deep resources of the national community college system to find it.

In a nutshell, we are willing to work with you to find a training delivery method that meets your work schedule and budget.

Pensacola State College inhabits 3 campuses in Escambia County and one campus in Santa Rosa County. Pensacola State College leadership believes strongly in the strength of the local economy and its potential for growth. In order to best reach that potential, Pensacola State College believes that community partnerships are essential to attract businesses and permanent residents.

The Department of Workforce and Economic Development (WED) is Pensacola State College’s commitment to that goal. WED is responsible for seeking out, developing, and growing partnerships in the community that will attract businesses, expand opportunities for residents, and ultimately create a better way of life for everyone in Northwest Florida.

The Pensacola State College Institute for Corporate and Professional Training is an important piece of that effort. The Institute provides opportunities for skilled workers and professionals within local organizations to take their career to the next level, either through our ongoing courses or by locating education at worksites and offices. This has three economic impacts.

One, readily available training and continuing education is one of the primary factors that companies look for when considering relocation. Two, our programs create a more highly skilled and qualified workforce, a second priority for retaining or relocating companies to the Pensacola Bay area. Three, the availability of this education encourages individuals that this is a place they want to live and grow.

Pensacola State College is committed to making a growth impact on the economy of the Pensacola Bay area. It is actively seeking to support and partner with other organizations committed to the same goals. This action may take traditional educational roles. It may also mean something new and exciting!
