MNEDF Offers 50% Scholarships for all IEDC Professional Development Courses
The Foundation is offering 50% scholarships to Minnesota economic development professionals for the two- and three-day professional development courses offered by the International Economic Development Council.   Most of the courses are virtual in 2024, so there is no need to worry about travel or travel-related costs.

The courses include all Core and Elective Courses needed for the Certified Economic Developer (CEcD) certification and the new Entrepreneurship-Led Economic Development certification.

2024 IEDC Course Schedule

Contact Sarah Gallant at [email protected] or call (202) 223-7800 with questions about the registration process.

Testimonial

Dustin Goslin, Vice President of Business and Economic Development, Mille Lacs Corporate Ventures

“The International Economic Development Council’s coursework to achieve Certified Economic Developer (CEcD) includes relevant and useful information for any professional in the economic development space, including tribal economic development.  While there is a myriad of unique structural challenges to working in tribal economic development, this coursework lays a strong foundation to understand theoretical and practical ways to organize, plan and implement broad economic development initiatives.  I highly recommend any tribal economic development professional explore these offerings to help jumpstart thinking around ways that tribal economies can be competitive communities for investment.”
