Training Opportunities

The goal of Prime Time Palm Beach County’s Professional Development Department is to empower out-of-school time (OST) practitioners to create safe, supportive and welcoming environments, encourage positive social interactions and engage youth through providing them with professional development trainings, incentives and scholarships for continuing education to gain certificates and degrees. Prime Time works towards this goal by supporting the development, administration and delivery of professional development trainings serving afterschool practitioners, assistant directors, directors and other staff. In addition, Prime Time offers career advising to help practitioners navigate credit or non-credit pathways at Palm Beach State College, as well as scholarships and incentives as they progress.

The mission of Prime Time’s Professional Development Department is to develop and deliver the highest quality continuing education professional development trainings to out-of-school time staff.

All trainings offered by Prime Time Palm Beach County are completely voluntary.

Prime Time is happy to announce the availability of language translation support during virtual Zoom trainings via captions (also called subtitles).

Zoom translated captions enable users to have the speech in a meeting or webinar automatically translated in real-time to captions in another language. For example, if a meeting participant is speaking in English, other participants can view captions in Spanish, French, Japanese, etc.

You can request support with enabling these captions during virtual trainings.

PRIME TIME OFFERS CONTINUING EDUCATION UNITS
The International Association for Continuing Education and Training certifies that Prime Time Palm Beach County, Inc. has complied with the ANSI/IACET Standard, which is recognized internationally as a standard of excellence in instructional practices and is authorized to issue the IACET CEU.
