「英語就業關鍵力」課程 (the Career Powered By English series,簡稱為 the CPBE series) 為英文系主導,臺北科技大學教務處教學卓越計畫補助的商場英文技巧訓練課程。此課程之目的為教授商場英文技巧並強調實作,故安排老師與學生有一對一的互動教學時間,使學生除了學習專業商場英文,更能在與老師的互動中實際經歷。
為達此目標,英文系也與拿多顧問管理公司 (Lado Management Consultants Ltd.) 合作。拿多顧問管理公司成立於民國八十二年,一直以來憑著專業的英語教育訓練和諮商服務,提供臺灣 FORTUNE 500 及其他卓越工商企業體英語相關教育訓練的解決方案,協助企業提昇其對外與對內的英語溝通品質 。使用該公司英語教育訓練服務的企業包括惠普 (Hewlett-Packard)、微軟 (Microsoft)、諾基亞臺灣分公司 (Nokia Taiwan)、花旗銀行 (Citibank),及其他企業。由於拿多所提供之職場英文訓練專業且具實用性,英文系與拿多的合作必能帶給學生最優質的商場英文技巧訓練。
「英語就業關鍵力」課程為學校課程系統外之專業訓練課程,故不提供學分數且免費參加。課程費用由臺北科技大學教務處教學卓越計畫補助。上課地點在北科校園內,且只對學生開放(註冊需有學號)。課程全程使用英文,但會有英文系學生支援擔任 TA。

"Recently, I have a real interview for applying a job. Because of these practices from the course, when I [was interviewed], I have more confidence to [sell] myself well. Two days ago, I got a phone call, the boss called, and he told me, 'Welcome to join our company!' God! I got the wonderful job! I couldn’t express how happy I am. I just want to say thank you for million times to the CPBE series."
