Corporate Training

The training your organisation really needs

The Open University (OU) works with a wide range of major employers, helping them get the skills they need into their workplace. Around 70% of our students remain in work while studying, meaning the OU has considerable expertise in supporting employees. By getting directly involved with your staff’s learning and development needs, you can shape the specific skills your business requires.

Around three quarters of the FTSE 100 companies have sponsored their staff to study with the OU. Household names that have worked with the OU to develop their workforce include Aviva, British Airways, BT, central and local government, Ford Motor Company, GlaxoSmithKline, HBOS, the Ministry of Defence and Visa.

Our practical and high quality work-based learning isn’t just about qualifications. For larger organisations we can adapt training for your specific business sector or create customised learning solutions which meet your business and staff needs. We can help you grow your own talent to help your organisation meet its current and future challenges.
