Workforce Development and Lifelong Learning

WDLL

Welcome to the Workforce Development and Lifelong Learning Division!

With primary access available to all adult residents of the District of Columbia, our workforce development program serves as an entity for both the university and the city as a whole.

In the UDC-WDLL, it is our goal to reduce unemployment and underemployment by helping residents throughout our community enhance their professional skills. In doing so, the program will provide the training needed to earn jobs, get promoted and train for careers in new industries.
