I decided to write about formal education with HR because alot of the progams companies provide for fomal eduation I was totally unaware of and had no idea they even did that.
Organizations may support employee development through a variety of formal educational programs either at the workplace or off-cite. I didn't realize companies provided education for employees outside of thier company. They might include workshops designed specifically for the organizations employees, short courses offered by consultants or universities. These programs may involve lectures by business experts.
There are universities and colleges that offer executive education they include Harvard, Wharton School of Business, University of Michigan. A growing number of companies and universities are using distance learning to reach executive audiences. For example Duke Universities Fuqua School of Business offers an electronic MBA program which is very convinent and I think more and more universities will start doing that.
Another trend in executive education is for employers and the education provider to create short courses with content designed specifically for the audience. Something I thought was really cool is MetLife worked with Babson College to develop a course where falculty members discuss business principlas and then corporate executives to discuss how the principals work in MetLife and the insurance industry. I like that Universities and companies provide these services to studentd and employees.
