Professional Development
The Public Service Workshops Program utilizes private and public colleges and universities, professional associations, consultants, and for-profit companies throughout New York State to develop and deliver workshops to meet the professional development needs of employees in the Professional, Scientific and Technical (PS&T) Unit. These workshops are provided at no cost to the employee or to the agency. PSWP workshops are provided in both classroom-based and on-line formats. To the greatest extent possible, workshops will provide occupational-related Continuing Education Units, such as Continuing Legal Education (CLEs) for attorneys, Professional Development Hours (PDHs) for engineers, and other specialized, license/credential-related CEUs for professionals who must complete specified continuing education activities to renew their license to practice in New York State.
