Career and Skill Enhancement
Community Preservation and Development Corporation's (CPDC) Career and Skill Enhancement (CSE) programs provide residents with the opportunity to increase their employability as well as strengthen the necessary skills to gain, maintain, and advance in chosen career tracks.
