You will learn the technological tools and methodologies that you will need to lead corporate education programs. Some corporate training degrees will focus on technology, virtual learning environments and Internet courses.
What Can I Do With a Corporate Training Degree?
Corporations rely on experienced trainers to provide professional development opportunities to their employees. Corporate training is also useful for helping new team members to adapt their current knowledge to the specific needs of a corporation. Some people find the curriculum, pay and work settings of corporate training to be more attractive than those found in K-12 education.
What Is the Career Outlook for Corporate Training Degree Students?
The future looks stable for corporate trainers with job growth that is much faster than the average for all occupations. Job opportunities will be excellent, especially for those who have a college degree or certification. Legislation and court rulings that revise standards in various areas such as occupational safety and health are increasing demand for corporate trainers, a trend that should continue through at least 2018. Demand is especially high for specialists who can bring employees with obsolete skills up to speed on technological advances. Average annual wages for training and development specialists are about $51,000, and training and development managers can expect to earn about $88,000.
