"We serve business, industry, and professionals by providing professional and career development, and enabling the transfer of knowledge and technology into the workplace."

The Corporate & Professional Development Center is a provider of training and consulting services for Michigan and beyond. The Center specializes in developing need-specific training programs, technical assistance for manufacturers, industry specific certification and testing programs, and multimedia consulting services. CPD is part of the College of Engineering Technology's Corporate & Professional Development Services group.

A competitive advantage held by CPD is our affiliation with Ferris State University. We have built a strong reputation as a training provider, which is built upon the core competencies of FSU's program areas. Our use of providers with extensive 'real world' experience is yet another advantage offered by CPD.
