    PPAT offers infrastructure and support services to EMU faculty and departments that want to serve industry professionals, graduates, potential EMU students and the community at large through non-credit programming. Departments benefit from engaging with adult learners and organizations seeking training from subject matter experts. Building on these potential relationships can help departments and programs recruit into undergraduate and graduate degree programs, generate funds to support faculty, programs or student initiatives and provide the opportunity to pilot new programs and gage customer interest, through a simple process needing minimal approvals.
