"Dominican University Graduate School of
Social Work’s Center for Professional Excellence (CPE) is at the forefront of providing relevant
and timely programs that assist in the professional development of current and future social
workers. Like Dominican’s MSW program, CPE address issues that are impacting the field of social
work domestically and internationally. We are committed to ensuring that every CPE participant
leave our workshops, lectures and symposiums with new knowledge and practical training that they
can implement within their organizations. For those organizations that have specific training
needs, Dominican’s CPE now provides customized training that can be conducted on-site at the
organization or at Dominican’s Priory or Grayslake campuses. Let’s face it, in today’s changing
work environment, employees are expected to do more with less and our goal is to ensure that you
have the appropriate tools necessary to effectively perform your responsibilities, increase
productivity and remain competitive."
