Privately-held businesses in the Inland Empire have a variety of different and very specific educational needs. Owners, presidents and CEOs may be successful at communicating their visions and training others within their organizations, but who trains the leaders? Because these companies typically have limited or no internal human capital support, the training and development of the management team is usually left behind or not coordinated. Few owners take the time to make management development a priority for successful growth of the company.
Most specialized training programs offered by national training companies are generalized and designed to make smaller businesses run like large conglomerate corporations. And once the seminars are over, there is no follow-up, so most thought-provoking discussions are forgotten shortly after the training.
Through Swenson University, we offer business owners and management the opportunity to enhance their intellectual capital at a fraction of what most national training programs and universities charge. Our six-month Executive Training Program is ideal for busy executives who want to become more adept at growing their businesses through team-building strategies, accounting methods, strategic planning, open book management and employee reward programs. Class sessions for Executive Development are offered once a month and are kept to a small group size with curriculum building upon concepts learned in previous sessions. Application of ideas to your specific business is the primary intention of the program so your time investment is maximized.
