JGS Serves Unique Corporate Educational Needs
For years, Rice University Executive Education has been a leader
in Houston in providing non-degree educational programs for executives.
Many of these courses focus on basic managerial skills, such as
finance, accounting, marketing, communications, leadership, and
more. Participants in these programs return to their workplace energized
with their newly acquired knowledge and skills. Often these participants
see the advantage in offering the program to their entire organization,
providing an opportunity for all of the organization’s members
to benefit from the course content. As a result, Rice University
Executive Education has frequently delivered its non-degree courses
exclusively to an organization’s employees—either at their
location or on campus—allowing all employees to benefit from
the program curriculum.
Over the past several years an interesting trend in corporate training
has evolved. Organizations are in search of more specialized curriculum
for their employees. Corporations have sought assistance from Rice
Executive Education in providing a customized educational program
for their employees, tailored to their unique goals. These programs
vary in length, format, and content. Rice Executive Education faculty
and staff are often brought into the early stages of program design
to perform a preliminary needs analysis to insure the program’s
relevance and impact.
