The University of Wisconsin – Green Bay has broken its previous record of 85,883 learners in Continuing Education and Workforce Training, setting a new all-time high of 101,617 learners.
From July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025, UW–Green Bay offered learning opportunities ranging from workshops and certificates to conferences and customized training—designed to build skills, spark curiosity, and strengthen communities. This surge represents an 18% increase from fiscal year 2024 and marks the largest program growth since 2017.
Continuing education and workforce training in areas such as career enhancement, workforce solutions and life enrichment allow the University to engage learners from a broad spectrum of the population. Career enhancement includes continuing education for municipal clerks and treasurers, state-licensed health and human service professionals and training for assisted living caregivers.
In the area of workforce solutions, noncredit certificate programs are offered to upskill, reskill and provide new skills to individuals as they progress or evolve in their careers. Topics range from emerging women’s leadership and AI to fundraising management, customer service, human resource management and more. Customized training solutions tailored to an organization’s unique needs and strategic objectives are also available upon request.
For those who truly never want to stop learning, the University operates the Lifelong Learning Institute, a volunteer-led program that offers nearly 200 different classes each spring and fall to retirees.
