Customized
Programs
Contract programs are customized special
sessions of Rensselaer's Professional Development Programs
designed to meet the needs of an individual business, government,
educational, or non-profit organization. Contract programs
can be held at our facility in Hartford, or at your location
of choice, including multiple locations simultaneously using
video conferencing technology. Rensselaer can work with your
organization to customize programs in the following different
ways:
1. Tailored Open-Enrollment Programs
Rensselaer can tailor any existing program to reflect your
business issues and the profiles of your participants. Specific
classes or exercises can be modified, substituted or added
to make a program more appropriate for your organization's
goals.
The Center for Creative Leadership programs are one example
of open-enrollment programs that can also be delivered as
contract programs.
2. Total Customization
Rensselaer will completely customize a program for you when
existing offerings are not appropriate for your objectives
-- developing entirely new modules not available within our
existing programs. We will work with your organization to
define its issues and goals, conduct interviews and on-site
observations, and then design a program based on your needs.
Custom programs can offer distinct advantages to your organization,
including the ability to effect a broad scale culture change,
the creation of common bonds through a shared experience,
training focused on your particular issues, tailored support
of your in-house programs, and greater flexibility regarding
when and where programs are delivered.
In contrast, public programs offer a diversity
of participant perspectives and experiences, and a greater
sense of anonymity on individual improvement issues. All public-enrollment
programs can be offered on a client-specific basis. Some organizations
use a combination of contract and public programs.
