Accessing PDP
Silberman College of Business has partnered with the application Suitable to launch our PDP program. Using Suitable, students can earn PDP certifications to later include on their resumes and LinkedIn profiles. Earning these certifications is a great way to demonstrate to employers what you’ve learned, your growth professionally, and that you go above and beyond.

Accessing PDP via Mobile phone: You can access PDP on your mobile device by downloading the Suitable app from the Apple Store (link) or from the Google Play Store (link). Log in with your FDU NetID email and FDU credentials to access PDP!
