In today’s fast-paced digital world, keeping up with new technologies and the constant flow of information can feel overwhelming. As artificial intelligence and advanced tools reshape the way we work, it is more important than ever to keep learning and find meaningful ways to stand out in your profession.
InterPro’s professional development programs are built to help you do just that. With flexible, hands-on learning designed for working professionals, our courses give you the tools to stay competitive, grow your expertise, and lead with confidence in a changing world.
How Adults Learn Best
While technology continues to evolve, one thing remains constant: the way adults learn. You bring valuable real-world experience that enriches both classroom and online discussions. You are motivated to grow in areas that matter most to you and value knowledge you can apply right away in your work.
These principles are more than preferences. Research shows that when learning is relevant, practical, and connected to real-world challenges, adults are more engaged and more likely to retain and apply what they’ve learned. That’s why InterPro designs every course to reflect how adults learn best.
Professional development courses give you the chance to engage with industry experts and peers through short, focused learning experiences designed to address real challenges. These courses provide practical solutions through discussion and projects while also creating opportunities for networking and peer learning. This combination of engagement supports growth long after the course ends, helping you build on the foundation you create in the classroom.
Courses Designed for Working Professionals
At InterPro, our team of experts designs courses with adult learners in mind, offering flexible options that fit busy schedules. Some learners prefer to step away from daily work to focus in a classroom, while others choose the convenience of online learning. Whatever your preference, we offer courses designed to fit your goals, schedule, and budget.
We also design curricula that support a wide range of skill levels. Early-career professionals build fundamental knowledge, while experienced employees explore advanced topics that help them continue driving innovation within their organizations. No matter what stage you’re in on your journey, there’s a course that supports what you need to advance in a meaningful way.
For example, in the course Practical Microbiology for Wastewater Treatment and Operations, participants gained hands-on experience identifying organisms under a microscope and applying case studies to real challenges. In this HyFlex course, both in-person and online learners left with tools to troubleshoot problems and improve treatment efficiency, giving them skills they could immediately apply on the job.
Instructors used specialized cameras and microscopes to demonstrate best practices in staining slides and to capture what was present in the water samples. This approach went beyond the typical static images in a lecture. It supported adult learning by simulating real-world scenarios in water treatment and encouraged dialogue that connected directly to the learners’ own facilities.
“The instructors made a topic that can be considered boring very fun and engaging. They really know what they are talking about, and it shows. They are always willing to help you understand a concept better or even answer questions about your facility. The content was relevant and very informative.” – Gabe C.
