Digital Technology Certificate Program
The Digital Technology Certificate Program addresses the critical need for continuing education focused on digital technologies. Missouri businesses struggle to recruit and retain employees with the digital technology skillsets needed and many current employees are in need of opportunities to upskill to today's evolving technologies. Through this certificate program, individuals can access the digital technology trainings needed to stay competitive in an ever-shifting world.
Digital Technology Certificate offerings

Each course is designed to be completed self-paced in six weeks with 40-50 hours of total commitment per course. Individuals will receive a certificate of completion for each completed course.
