Introducing IQPC’s 14th Annual Corporate University Week Learning And Organizational Development

Corporate Universities/Learning and Organizational Development Strategies are the foundation of corporate success. Companies are actively engaged with developing or enhancing learning/development programs in order to develop talent and enhance competitive positioning. By developing in-house training and development programs (or partnering with a university), companies are reaping the rewards of increased productivity, decreased turnover and higher revenue.
