Certificate Programs

Professional & Organizational Development offers several PD Certificates that focus on enhancing the skills and performance of our employees. PD classes and certificates are available to all full-time MCC employees as part of the benefits package.

Declaring Your Certificate

Things to Remember: 

  • The certificate program is designed so a certificate may be achieved in one year.
  • Only one certificate may be declared at a time.
  • PD Certificates are awarded at the end of each quarter.
  • Once you have completed the required classes in the certificate, do not change your designation until you have received the confirmation email from Professional Development.   
  • You may be working on more than one certificate at time. 
  • PD classes are valid towards a certificate for five years. Should a class expire, you are welcome to retake that class.
  • Once a certificate is earned, it may not be earned again.
  • Part-time and Adjunct employees may participate in PD classes, with the approval of their supervisors.
  • PD Certificate incentives awarded to full-time Professional and Support Staff only.

Completion of Certificate
At the end of each quarter, the PD Office will run a Certificate Completion Report. Those who have achieved a certificate will receive an email confirming the completion of the certificate. Professional and Support Staff will then select what incentive they would like.

All employees who achieve a certificate will receive a certificate of completion and a lapel pin with the name of the certificate on it via campus mail.

Quarter 1: 9/1 - 11/30
Quarter 2: 12/1 - 2/28
Quarter 3: 3/1 - 5/31
