Here's the clearest way to understand what CTPE and CELE each do and why having both under one roof changes everything.
Kaupla and Koulianos break down what leadership actually looks like at different career stages, and why the training has to be different at each level. First-time manager to enterprise executive - USF now has a solution for the entire journey.

Welcome to the official page of USF Corporate Training and Professional Education.
Retrain. Don't replace.
USF's Mark Koulianos breaks down what an elastic workforce actually means and why the companies building one right now are the ones that will come out ahead when the next disruption hits.
One of the reasons this partnership exists: Tampa Bay's leadership pipeline has a gap and it's growing.
Jon Kaupla shares a number that puts it in perspective. Nearly 60% of senior executives are expected to retire within the next three to five years. The organizations that come out ahead will already have their next generation prepared.
That's what CTPE and USF's Center for Executive & Leadership Education partnership was created to solve.
Don't Know Where to Start? Just Call USF
USF's CTPE and the brand new Center for Executive & Leadership Education are working together so you don't have to figure out which program fits first. Jon Kaupla explains why the answer is always the same: just come to USF.
This is Mark Koulianos, AVP at USF and one of the driving forces behind our new workforce development partnership.
His take on the modern career: One degree and thirty years at the same job isn't the playbook anymore. The professionals winning right now are the ones who never stopped learning.
That's exactly what this partnership with the Center for Executive and Leadership Education was built to support at every level of your organization.

"Operational excellence says we want to be good at everything."
That's not a process improvement project. That's a culture.
Mark Koulianos from USF CTPE explains why the belt is just the beginning. 👇
Something new is happening at USF and we want to make sure you know exactly how it works.
USF's Corporate Training & Professional Education and the brand new Center for Executive & Leadership Education are now working together as one unified workforce development solution for Tampa Bay and beyond.
Two departments. Different lanes. One goal: your people.
We put Mark Koulianos and Jon Kaupla on the spot to break it down in 30 seconds. Here's the clearest explanation you'll find.
⏳ Tomorrow’s a pretty good day to get serious about that PMP.
If you’ve been thinking about a career move, a salary bump, or just having a few more letters after your name that actually mean something, PMP® Exam Prep starts tomorrow, April 14.
Get a credential that's recognized around the world, travels well across industries, and according to PMI, PMP holders can earn upward of $20,000 more per year than non-credentialed professionals. Not bad for one line on your résumé.
Now is the time, because class starts tomorrow!
