Creating Successful Futures

Center for Learning Connections

The Center for Learning Connections (CLC) is the current name for the former Northwest Program Development Center (NPDC), and its major project, The Center for Career and Work-Related Education (CCWRE). Despite the change in name, the Center's mission has consistently focused on the connection between learning, the changing economy and workplace since its founding in 1978.

Since the mid-1980's, the Center has successfully planned and managed organizational conferences, meetings, and projects, as well as designed training for individuals representing a variety of organizations, disciplines and viewpoints.

What Our Clients Say

"Very informative.  I have a better understanding of where some of my co-workers are coming from in terms of their culturally based views and behaviors on workplace norms, expectations and assumptions related to time-management, organization skills, planning and action, etc., shaped by dominant cultural values and practices."

"This training was well thought out and well put together!  Loved the trainer – very energetic, vibrant, knowledgeable.  Love the fact that he works with people from different cultures as well.  He was very engaging with the audience.  Interesting, thought provoking material.  Practical ideas to self-analyze and realize/reinforce that change comes from within."

"I have heard nothing but positive remarks coming from those that attended your session."

"A very helpful and useful training."

"I wanted to thank you for sharing your wisdom and insights with us. It was by far the most personally and professionally meaningful day I’ve spent at work in years. I feel invigorated and inspired."

"I was lucky to find myself in your motivational interviewing lecture last week and as a prosecutor in the family support division, I felt that your message and your materials would transfer so well to so many of our positions."
