Professional Development (PD) Program

A distinctive feature of the School of Business at Geneseo is the Professional Development requirement. In today’s competitive job market, it takes more than just a diploma to land the best jobs. We are committed to helping students develop job-search and career-management and leadership skills in addition to what is learned in the classroom.

The Professional Development Certificate will be awarded upon completion of the required workshops and three elective workshops that have a focus on leadership skills.

Please note: Additional workshops can and will be added during the academic year, check your email often for updates.
