Centre for Communications Excellence

Professional Development Workshops

The CEC offers a wide range of professional development workshops in administration, communications, marketing, media relations, web/social media, and writing that respond to individual and organizational training needs. All CEC workshops are available via live, instructor-led, online delivery. The majority of our workshops are offered on an open-registration basis, with up to three sessions held per year.

All CEC workshops are available for in-house delivery. This means you can secure a time and location convenient for your group and we’ll bring the workshop to you, customized to meet your specific needs with the added value of learning together as a team. If you are interested in a workshop that has not been scheduled or would like more information on booking an in-house workshop, please contact us.
