Vendor-Offered Training

Companies that work with NJIT will periodically offer free training workshops and webinars, open to university participants and/or the public. These trainings are not designed or sponsored by NJIT, but they are available to NJIT faculty and staff who wish to take advantage of the opportunity for extra training and information. In order to make these offerings available to you, a schedule of upcoming events is shared below. We would love to hear feedback from you if you decide to participate in one of these events!
