What if you really could have it all?

Every employer knows the cost of losing good people, and the challenge of helping them grow into the roles you need filled. A strong training partnership can solve both.

Training with UMPI isn’t one-size-fits-all. Employees can pursue coursework relevant to their specific role, their next promotion, or the skills gap you need closed, building a stronger internal pipeline as they grow.

And this isn’t a one-way arrangement. We want to involve you directly in shaping solutions that fit your needs and your employees’ needs; not just offer a discount (though you’ll get that too).

That partnership can take shape in several ways:

Bundling current UMPI courses into certificates your team needs
Mapping standalone courses directly to the skills required for internal promotions
Shaping new courses through our Advisory board, so future offerings reflect what your employees actually need.

What Partnership Can Look Like

Every employer partnership is different, shaped around what your workforce actually needs.

Custom-Designed Certificates

We’ll work with business and organizations to bundle existing UMPI courses — or build new ones — into a certificate that maps directly to a role, skill gap, or promotion path within your organization.

Credit for Prior Learning

Your employees don’t start from zero. We evaluate relevant work experience, training, and certifications and apply that toward credit, so they can move through coursework faster and avoid paying for what they already know.

On-Campus Instruction

Bring your employees to UMPI for hands-on, in-person learning — a chance to step away from the workplace, focus, and connect with instructors and peers face-to-face. On-site options may also be available depending on the program.
