Developed specifically for professionals in the educational facilities industry, APPA's training programs provide a solid foundation of facilities management knowledge, as well as the latest trends and innovations. Now more than ever, educational facilities professionals are encouraged to come together to gain knowledge and share experiences to stay current and competitive. Let APPA be your choice for professional development by providing insights and lessons to revitalize your skills and career.

The Next Generation in Professional Development

Historically, each January and September, APPA has offered programming for facilities professionals seeking development and training in technical areas such as operations
and maintenance, energy and utilities, general administration and planning, design,
and construction. Additionally, participants gathered during these times of the year to
learn better management skills and take the next steps to becoming the leader they
can be. These premier professional development offerings are known as the Institute for
Facilities Management and the Leadership Academy.

APPA realizes that the career path of facilities professionals is ever-changing, and
therefore, APPA must keep up with these changes. To this end, APPA is proud to announce the first offering of APPA U.. The biannually offered event will bring together the Institute
for Facilities Management and Leadership Academy in one location. The event will
also offer programming based on regional need – such as the Supervisor’s Toolkit
or Drive-In Workshops – that cover hot topics in our field. APPA U will also provide a
forum for the foundational credentialing programs—Educational Facilities Professional
(EFP) and Certified Educational Facilities Professional (CEFP). The goal of APPA U is to
expose facilities professionals to the vast offerings that can be found through APPA.
Bringing together the Institute and the Academy in APPA U will provide a networking
opportunity like no other.

What will remain the same? The outstanding programming and resources that our
members have come to rely on and expect! And, of course, networking, which is a key
benefit, and why APPA is the association of choice for educational facilities professionals.
