Any continuing education program can offer you the "how to's." Erikson's professional development offerings do much more.
We go beyond simple skill-building to explore the why's, the when's, and the what if's — all the context that is so critical when working with young children and families.

Choose from our workshops and seminars to develop critical skills, familiarize yourself with new techniques and instruments, or earn the credit you need to maintain your professional standing or advance in your career. Or come to us for customized training developed just for your organization's needs — and delivered in your workplace or community.
All our offerings bring you research-based knowledge relevant to your practice. Like our degree and certificate programs, professional development offerings emphasize relationships, to help you better connect with the children and families you serve, and self-reflection, to help you understand what you bring to those relationships. This approach — combining knowledge with professional self-awareness — helps you grow into a more effective professional.
Our instructors — many of whom also teach in our master's and certificate programs — are experienced professionals and inspired teachers. You can be sure the courses you take at Erikson will be timely, engaging, enriching, and, above all, useful.
You can also take our online infant studies courses for professional development credit, building your skills at a time and location convenient for you.
Those who have participated in Erikson's professional development courses come back again and again. Register today and find out why.
