Business Roundtable as Innovative Approach to
Strengthening America's Workforce
Custom Management Program Developed for Convergys
January 21, 2010 - January 21, 2010 – Business Roundtable has recognized Bellevue University's customized learning program for Convergys as an innovative approach to educate and train employees. The Springboard Project, an independent commission of Business Roundtable, issued final recommendations to change the way the United States approaches training and education so that American workers prosper in the 21st century's evolving market.
Bellevue University's Customer Management Development Program was designed specifically for Convergys employees and is mapped to Convergys business goals, culture, and leadership competencies. The online learning program has been implemented to identify and develop potential leaders – in an effort to lessen the widening gap between unskilled workers and organizational leaders. The program can be taken to earn a Certificate of Completion or as the core of a Bachelor of Science degree from Bellevue University.
"The Convergys learning program lines up with the Project's seven recommendations for the U.S. to focus on keeping America's workforce well prepared and competitive. We're honored that Business Roundtable has recognized the innovative approach Convergys and Bellevue University have taken to develop and train a better educated workforce," said Michael E. Echols, Ph.D., Executive Vice President of Strategic Initiatives and the Human Capital Lab℠, Bellevue University.
Convergys is one of 26 members of The Springboard Project made up of a diverse group of education and business leaders, labor experts, union chiefs, academics, foundation heads, and former government officials.
