Corporate Training Educator Scholarships

Become a Highly Skilled Business Trainer

Corporate training is the buzzword in big business. Training in a business environment once was the job of the human resources professionals, but now private and public companies and organizations are assembling specialized crews of training and development staff to transform their workforce into a more efficient and profitable team.

Colleges and universities are answering the call and offer programs of study in this ever-growing field. You will find corporate training and development programs offered across the board, from continuing education to degree programs. Students can often customize their coursework, and are usually engaged in a wide-ranging field of subjects, from experiential learning to strategic planning to organizational development.

The job of a corporate trainer is to provide an array of direction, including industry-specific training, safety training, technical courses, and morale-building and motivational workshops and events. You will find scholarships through college corporate training departments, continuing education programs, and corporations. If you are interested in getting a leg up in the workplace, check to see if your own company offers tuition assistance.

Scholarships

Many corporate training programs are offered online because many students are adult learners who want to enhance their professional credentials. As a result, they are considered nontraditional students, so check with your school to find out about nontraditional student scholarship offerings.

University of North Texas School of Technology & Performance Improvement offers students the Roger Ditzenberger Scholarship. The program awards students pursuing corporate training as a career. Awards vary with funding and are guided by current business trends.
