training effectiveness model used to assess corporate training.
~Structure corporate-academic partnerships. Participants recommended that business cases be made for initiating corporate-university partnerships, including how they might be measured and governed.
Workshop Stimulates Two Experimental Collaborative Projects. The positive response from participants has encouraged Sloan to fund two collaborative projects, concentrating first in “generic corporate training.” Partnering with Fortune 500 corporations, two NYC-area universities will develop and deliver ALN non-credit, non-degree corporate training courses. The aim is to establish a record of widely acknowledged success, demonstrating to companies that ALN can provide quality, cost-effective training.
Proliferation in these kinds of collaborations is anticipated to promote a steady increase in the number of new participants from industry and academia launching similar projects, offering long-term benefits programmatically and financially to universities and raising training ROI for industry.
Readers may expect reports on results of these experimental projects featured here and in corporate and education media later this year.
