Some of the challenges we face: Developing career-focused courses that the marketplace demands, so students are ready for the workforce on day one, as well as ensuring access to higher education, while also ensuring it is affordable. We recognize that individuals will face a life-long learning challenge and new career credential requirements resulting from marketplace shifts, large-scale changes in technology and mobility, and resultant adjustments in workforce demand, all as they prepare for their own personal journey of shifting career challenges, as well as changes in their lifestyles, geographic locations and personal aspirations. At Post University, we want to be there to provide this unique level of personalized, value-added learning alternatives.

Post Makes it Personal is our unique promise and we are intent on delivering this level of service by providing an extraordinary level of personal student support from enrollment to graduation and beyond. It is no secret that the presence of a higher education institution brings prosperity to its city. In fact, colleges and universities serve as economic engines by bringing new job opportunities, financial partnerships, business patrons, community-service missions and innovation. Post University showed its commitment to the Greater Waterbury region beyond the traditional impact. To accommodate Post's growth and need for new space, university President John Hopkins, chose to enter into a public-private partnership and renovate the historic Howland-Hughes building, reviving one of the city's most beloved landmarks. The move, which happened in December 2018, saw the arrival of 400 Post University workers downtown. The project has already brought a strong economic boost to the surrounding businesses.
