Building a Better U
Building a Better U (BBU) offers training courses to certification preparation, videos to jobs aids, and quick references to customized courses. The software in BBU, Percipio, makes professional development that much easier. Percipio is Latin for “to learn.” With Percipio, you can experience multiple ways to learn – you can watch, read, or listen to content, as well as practice what you’ve learned using various resources available to you.
