Corporate University

Home | Corporate University

The Greene County Industrial Training Council and Black River Technical College recognize that business and industry have the need to approach the development of their workforce and leadership team in a manner that meets each organization’s vision and culture. This is why we have developed the Corporate University structure. Each organization can focus on development plans that meet their strategies for building their leadership teams that help gain and maintain a competitive advantage.

Our Corporate University offers a three tiered structure to develop and sharpen leaders at every level.  Each tier offers ideas for development, with the ability to customize specific development requests.  Each organization can design their own development matrix. The tiers focus on executive level leadership, supervisors and front-line leaders, and emerging leaders that are beginning to mature into potential leadership candidates.

As organizations engage in the Corporate University track, Black River Technical College (BRTC) Corporate & Community Education staff and the Greene County Industrial Training Council (GCITC) will document and monitor each individual’s progress. A report can be sent to participating Corporate University partners to monitor development. As achievement levels set by the participating organization are realized, GCITC and BRTC will prepare certificates of completion with the Corporate University logo along with the participating organization’s name and logo. This concept allows each organization to control their Corporate University outcomes and receive recognition for hosting their own university program.
