Goals of A Corporate University
Corporate universities are set up for a variety of reasons, but most organizations have the same basic needs. These are to:
- Organize training
- Start and support change in the organization
- Get the most out of the investment in education
- Bring a common culture, loyalty, and belonging to a company
- Remain competitive in today's economy
- Retain employees
CUs offer valuable training and education to employees, but they also help organizations retain and promote key employees. Although a CU may sound attractive, there is a lot of work that goes into the planning and implementation of such a project.
