Performance Improvement Facilitator Development and Certification
Boost Your Career Trajectory with The Certified Performance Improvement Facilitator Training and Certification
Develop your competency and demonstrate your proficiency in using systematic processes to guide systemic, collaborative improvement across groups and organizations. The Performance Improvement Facilitator Learning & Performance Journey provides a performance-based learning experience while connecting learners with peers across sectors for mutual benefit.
Learning with Peers Leverage the Power of Social Learning
Synchronous learning in class is aligned with asynchronous peer-to-peer learning and coaching via the Promote digital platform. Participants report the rich peer interaction to be a highly valuable aspect of the experience, as well as the opportunity to immediately apply their learning to meeting their goals. The most common participant response: “I wish I had this training earlier in my career. I have really improved my impact, and now I have a true, coherent professional practice and toolkit!”
As Change Accelerates, Focus on Creating the Future of Education, and Economic, Workforce, and Community Development Collaboratively
As Perkins funds shift from the Department of Education to the Department of Labor and federal education funds and decisions shift to states, AI and technology are rapidly changing work and education, and demographics, policy, economics and other systemic forces are creating a powerful confluence of change. Schools cannot do what must be done alone. Partnerships and collaborative efforts are no longer nice to have – they are critical to the success of communities, states, and the nation. The Performance Improvement Facilitator Learning & Performance Journey allows local, regional and state peers across sectors to learn and work together to become collaborative partnerships for improvement, innovation, and implementation for shared success.
Participants develop a shared language, focus together on creating vibrant partnerships, and apply all their learning and tools to creating and achieving a shared vision for mutual success. They learn why collaborative efforts get stuck or fail, and how to achieve sustainable progress and results.

Economic development success hinges on more than good strategy. EDOs across the country are under increasing pressure to deliver visible, lasting outcomes — from workforce development and business expansion to educational partnerships and quality-of-life improvements. Yet many well-intentioned coalitions stall, struggle with trust, or never fully implement what they plan.
Why? Because most EDOs are missing one critical capacity: Performance Improvement Facilitation — the skill set required to lead sustained, cross-sector collaboration that delivers measurable results for successful economic development.
