Continuing and Professional Education

Support Access to Professional Education that Transforms Lives

Continuing professional education creates opportunity. It advances careers, enriches communities and transforms lives. By donating to UC Davis Continuing and Professional Education (CPE), the workforce development and lifelong learning arm of the university, you’re funding innovative, accessible educational programs and scholarships that open rewarding career paths across a student’s lifetime.

CPE is a self-supporting academic unit and our students usually aren’t eligible for student loans or tuition assistance programs. Your support on Give Day matters – it helps ensure that all adults, regardless of socioeconomic status, have access to life-changing professional development and learning opportunities.

Support one of the challenges issued by CPE and the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) to expand access to learning:

“Build Your Own Career” Scholarship – Support online scholarships that gives financially-challenged working adults the resources and opportunity to advance their careers
Tapping Potential Brewing Scholarships - Support diversity-focused scholarships to increase representation, leadership and cross-cultural understanding in the brewing industry
Heart of OLLI Fund – Support access, through technology, to engage in live courses from the classroom that give senior learners who are homebound or unable to travel the opportunity to expand their intellectual horizons and connect with their community
