Continuous Education and Professional Development (CEPD)

The Continuing Education and Professional Development Department of the Joseph Business School creates pathways to empowerment that eradicate poverty.

The Joseph Center® offers a “one-stop” shop for you to gain knowledge to get wealth. While some people are called to business ownership, others are called to pursue their passion in a career of their choice. Through our Continuing Education & Professional Development Division, we are able to satisfy the desires of anyone seeking to acquire new skills or enhance ones they already have. Like Joseph (in the book of Genesis), we believe when you receive knowledge and gain understanding, you can out-perform others in your chosen field.
