Training & Events

As the official coordinating entity for the State’s Preferred Provider Program, Maryland Works acts as a neutral hub that facilitates opportunity without competing against our members. This intermediary status allows us to provide unbiased training and professional development that isn’t tied to a specific provider’s agenda.

Maryland Works delivers guidance you can trust, because it was never designed to benefit anyone other than those we train—and the people they help as a result.
