Abstract
The University of West Florida instructional and performance technology (IPT) programs, currently housed in the Department of Instructional, Workforce and Applied Technology (IWAT), have been in place for over 20 years. Intense interactions with potential members of the target population including area public school teachers, school administrators, directors of instructional technology, the US Navy, the Chamber of Commerce, Pensacola State College, and others guided the initial planning processes, aiding in the identification of a framework for IPT competencies needed by regional partners. These same partners continue to provide input today, ensuring that the programs offered are preparing students to meet the demands of today's workforce. Coursework provides students with the critical thinking, communication, and project management skills to examine performance improvement opportunities holistically, taking a systems view and focusing on adding value by concentrating on results and working in partnership with clients and stakeholders.
