Virtual Learning & Networking

WindyCityWebinars.org makes it simple to promote your brand and showcase your expertise with continuing professional education (CPE) webinars. We are a community of Chicago professionals and business students focused on educating peers and maximizing exposure to sell professional services. Our remote learning platform allows you to offer CPE credit webinars that comply with NASBA licensing regulations to meet the ongoing professional development needs of your employees, clients, and prospects.

Windy City Webinars was created in collaboration with DePaul University’s ICS 394 strategic entrepreneurship class during the spring of 2020. Our mission is to keep learning alive and accessible to all during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. We provide students unique opportunities to assist with webinar projects to gain work experience, explore a variety of career paths, develop and refine skills, network with professionals, and acquire knowledge and confidence as they transition into the workforce.

As a member of the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) National Registry of CPE Sponsors, we are authorized to issue CPE credits in all 50 states. This allows our audience to safely and remotely attend learning sessions from anywhere in the United States. Windy City Webinars is an unparalleled resource to support you in creating and promoting CPE programs that share thought leadership and raise brand awareness.

Supporting Student Portfolio Projects

WindyCityWebinars.org, a remote learning project in development with FX Initiative and DePaul’s Coleman Entrepreneurship Center, is pleased to share our Student Application to complete a webinar portfolio project related to their academic major. Portfolio projects are designed to connect students with internship and employment opportunities by showcasing their learning abilities, skillsets, and work ethic to create educational programs presented to the Chicago business community.

Webinar portfolio projects are designed for ambitious students looking for a structured experience to help add something substantive and unique to their resumes and portfolios in summer 2020. With more and more internships cancelled, jobs on hold, and a summer in flux, this opportunity is meant to provide an approach for students to effectively use their summer and participate meaningfully in a community of professionals to gain experience and unlock potential opportunities in the future.

Students will be part of a robust and diverse community producing high quality continuing professional education (CPE) programs in business fields of study. WindyCityWebinars.org is focused on creating win-win-win outcomes that benefit our student contributors, corporate sponsors, and community of professionals as we fulfill our mission to keep learning alive and accessible to all during the COVID-19 pandemic.

All college students are welcome to apply. This interest form is designed to provide background information on student applicants to help identify and plan out each webinar project. Students should expect to spend 10-15 minutes answering the 10 questions.
