Workshops & Certificate Programs

WPI’s Corporate and Professional Education group works with companies and individuals to offer a variety of targeted training programs, designed to have a direct and timely impact in your day to day business.

Whether it’s a one-day workshop or a technical short course, our highly flexible offerings can be delivered at your corporate site, here at our Biomanufacturing Education and Training Center (BETC), or through a combination of online and onsite learning. With our hands-on workshops and training, your employees gain relevant skills and tools that can be immediately applied in the workforce for a moderate investment of your time and money. Continuing education units (CEUs) are awarded.

One highlight of our on-campus educational offerings is our Biomanufacturing Education and Training Center (BETC), a unique facility that allows for a truly immersive training experience in biomanufacturing, all done in state-of-the-art, pilot-scale labs.
