The Wisconsin Economic Development Academy will typically offer educational programs in two formats: Webinar Briefings are low cost (up to 90 minute) educational briefings that will introduce the topic and provide foundational information to determine if more in-depth course material is required. These briefings are designed for those individuals not interested in pursuing CEcD and for professionals working seeking that can benefit by understanding Economic Development activities – e.g. bankers, real estate brokers, town/village clerks/administrators, and community development directors. Certification Model are ½ day educational programs to provide a more in-depth understanding of the topic. These programs will be designed to garner certification points for attendees. These offerings will be provided after determining adequate interest to run the program. Please communicate any in-depth programs that you would like to attend by emailing weda@weda.org |
