Stockton offers a wide variety of continuing workshops and seminars in the area of workforce and professional development. Programs are offered to meet the needs of the adult learner seeking new knowledge that will expand career goals or sharpen current skills. Both face-to-face and on-line formats are available to meet the needs of the busy professional.

For the business community, we offer programs in project management, information technology management, and customized courses and conferences that strengthen leadership and management skills. Community members and organizations will find courses of interest for lifelong learners. Those courses provide educational opportunities in health and safety, personal development, and preparation classes for both pre-college and graduate school examinations.

The Small Business Development Center(SBDC) at Stockton University serves as a vital economic engine for Atlantic, Cape May, and Cumberland counties by providing expert, no-cost consulting to both aspiring and established entrepreneurs. The center helps local businesses turn ideas into action through specialized guidance on business plan development, raising capital, and navigating government procurement opportunities. From 2024-2026 the center managed over 1,000 one-to-one client sessions and hosted approximately 80 training events that reach more than 2,700 individuals across the region. A key highlight of their impact includes fostering the next generation of leaders through programs like the Summer Entrepreneurship and Business Academy (SEBA), where they mentor high school students in developing successful business models. By bridging the gap between academic expertise and real-world application, Stockton SBDC continues to strengthen the regional economy and empower diverse business owners to thrive.
