Custom Programs Target Company Needs

The Professional Education Programs office (PEP) addresses specific corporate education and strategic goals through custom educational programs. PEP staff work with managers to define curricula and then coordinate with MIT faculty to design a targeted learning experience. These courses can be a single week or several weeks over a year with interrelated projects. These specialized courses can be delivered at MIT, the company site, or off site. Custom courses apply research insights to real-world challenges while developing productive new networks among employees.

Courses at MIT can include faculty lectures from several departments as well as lab tours and other local activities designed around a company’s strategic goals. Hotel accommodation and conference facilities are available near campus, or a program can be held at the MIT Endicott House.

Courses offered at company sites are customized from Professional Institute short courses involving one or two faculty speakers. These are frequently offered to provide a large group or department a solid foundation in a strategic science or technology area.

If you have been thinking about a customized course for your group of 25 or more, contact the Professional Institute for more information.
