Education & Development Opportunities through Corporate College

Corporate College
It is the mission of Corporate College to drive the economy, locally and globally, forward by helping companies, organizations and individuals invest in our most valuable regional asset - the people. The concept includes a strategic initiative focused on professional development and training programs developed through a client engagement approach to meet employers’ demands for a talented workforce. As a professional development division of Cuyahoga Community College, Corporate College and its customers benefit from that connection to ensure training is cutting-edge, instructors are experts in their field, and there is a strong link to the current and future needs of the workforce and economy. The training model is designed to help workers advance in their careers and businesses to increase profits by providing training to connect with customers, seize opportunities to grow and compete, and master innovations in business practices. Programs target entrepreneurs and professionals who have career experience, from administrative support to C-level management and organizations from all for-profit and nonprofit sectors.
Extensive partnership arrangements enable Corporate College to provide just-in-time training, when and where it is needed by businesses. Corporate College's partnership with Global Corporate College enables a local to international delivery system of quality, market-relevant corporate training through a network of colleges and universities. Serving as a one-stop solution for companies with multiple locations, our partnership eliminates logistical challenges and training is focused on generating results.

Technology Solutions Institute
The Technology Solutions Institute develops all major programs through a FIRM Solution Infrastructure - Foundation, Immersion, Reinforcement, and Mastery. FIRM focuses on eliminating non-valued added, non-learning related activities that do not directly impact the learner's role and tie back to business objectives. Measuring the impact and effectiveness of our programs is vital to achieving your goals. That is why we incorporate assessment processes that show the degree to which each participant acquired the targeted knowledge and skill. But the real proof is in results that achieve your desired goals: reduced cost, increase revenues and improved productivity. Get all the value you can out of the information technology investments you make, faster and easier than ever before. We will help you maximize the value of information technology in four critical areas: mission critical, business essential, business core, and business support. From ERP initiatives to functional updates on Microsoft Windows, or Cisco network support to complex IT security issues, or project management programs to internationally-recognized certifications, we will work with you to achieve your business objectives.
