UA Little Rock Launches Centralized Platform for Professional and Continuing Education
The University of Arkansas at Little Rock is making it easier to find and access professional development, continuing education, and workforce training through a new centralized system for professional skills and non-degree programs.
Modern Campus brings UA Little Rock’s professional skills training and continuing education opportunities together, connecting programs from across disciplines through a single platform.
“With the expansion of training administered by Corporate and Community Education, including Leadership Academy, AI programs, Human Resources Essentials, and Medical Spanish, a student information system like Modern Campus became a necessity,” said Dr. Aaron Duvall, executive director of workforce development. “This tool will allow us to better market and administer workforce programs, making the entire process easier and more enjoyable for our learners.”
The platform will enable UA Little Rock’s Corporate and Community Education to manage registration, program information, student records, payments, corporate training, credentialing, and communications in a single system. Bringing these functions together will create a more seamless experience for learners, who can register for programs, manage their information, and access their training records all in one place. The system’s enhanced data reporting allows UA Little Rock to meet Arkansas Division of Higher Education reporting requirements, better understand learner engagement, and use data to improve programs and guide future decision-making.
The catalog brings together professional skills and continuing education opportunities from across UA Little Rock, including offerings from Corporate and Community Education, Spanish and the Arkansas Public Administration Consortium. The platform will add additional programs from the School of Education and other departments as it expands. Current offerings include professional development and certification opportunities such as Medical Billing and Coding and Paralegal certification through ed2go.
The platform also supports workforce training for organizations, giving corporate clients a centralized way to manage employee training. Through the corporate portal, clients can register employees for contracted programs, manage rosters, and track training progress. Customized offerings such as Leadership Academy and AI Transformation and Leadership allow organizations to provide training tailored to their workforce needs.
As UA Little Rock continues to expand its professional skills, continuing education, and workforce development offerings, Modern Campus will make it easier for learners and organizations to manage their training. By bringing professional skills and non-degree programs together, the platform gives learners a centralized record of their training and a connected way to keep building skills and reaching professional goals.
