Continuing and Professional Development within DELO is comprised of four distinct work areas: Career and Workforce Development, Lifelong Learning, Training Resources & Event Planning Services (TREPS), and Conference Services. These units are supported by administrative staff located in the Knicely Conference Center in Bowling Green, KY.

Career and Workforce Development (CWD) team members focus on meeting the needs of each employee, whether those needs are an individual class or a certificate program covering multiple skills and competencies. This is accomplished by providing training in communication skills, team building, supervision, and other skill areas.  

Lifelong Learning (LL) staff members are committed to providing learning opportunities for every age group in a variety of personal enrichment and professional development areas. LL partners with university departments and outside organizations to provide educational programs. As a unit within DELO, LL is uniquely positioned to support academic departments in offering outstanding and innovative programs that showcase the expertise of WKU faculty and staff members.

WKU Training Resources and Event Planning Services (TREPS) offers comprehensive training and event management services for community and campus partners. Professional event management staff can manage every aspect of any event - including business meetings, social gatherings and conferences - at any location, on or off campus.
