NJIT's Division of Continuing Professional Education provides enriching career-long learning opportunities through extension programs, Online Learning, graduate certificates, and through its professional development training and corporate customized training.

Professional development programs include short courses, certificates and license reviews, with some leading to the award of continuing education units (CEUs). The CEU is used nationally to document the type, quality and duration of study. In general, a CEU is defined as being equal to classroom hours. Taught throughout the year, individual classes typically last one to five days. Certificates and license review programs can entail a significant number of hours of instruction spanning several months.

All professional development courses can be adapted to meet a particular organization's needs and conducted as a custom-designed training program at a company site. For more than 50 years, NJIT has been designing and conducting non-credit courses that meet technology-based organizations' needs for high-quality, lifelong workforce education. Since 1990, NJIT has trained over 63,000 professionals as part of over 550 training initiatives for 300 different companies conducting business in New Jersey.
