The Stayer Center for Executive Education’s non-degree programs have an especially important mission – to help business professionals to become better leaders, especially in the areas of values-based leadership, innovation, business acumen, and strategy and growth.
Here are a few numbers to show the level of activity in just the past year through eight open-enrollment programs, customized programs and six online learning certificates:
1,262: Number of people participating in open enrollment and custom programming
195: Number of training days in open enrollment and custom programming
1,516: Number of enrollments for the six online certificate programs
27: Number of unique clients in custom programming
$4.1M: Revenue generated from non-degree programming
Stayer’s custom clients include Bayer, Thor Industries, Ernst & Young, Exelon, the National Council of State Housing Agencies, Tsinghua PBC School of Finance, Polaris and the Drucker Institute. Several of these organizations have a 25+ year relationship with the Stayer Center for Executive Education.
Stayer keeps the mission of Notre Dame central to all that they do. A recent example of this is the Center's work with Cristo Rey Network, a group of 35 Catholic-based schools across the nation whose mission is to empower students from underserved, low-income communities to develop their minds and hearts to become lifelong contributors to society.
Stayer is acting as a co-designer of a professional development program for their senior leadership teams. In June of 2019, Stayer will launch the first cohort of 50 school leaders in a two-year program designed to develop their leadership and business acumen skills. The curriculum will include in-class sessions, action learning projects and a personal action plan. Many thanks to Sue Callaghan, Chris Adkins, Viva Bartkus and Walt Clements for their design, content expertise and participation.
I hope this gives you a better appreciation for the hard work and learner-focused environment that the team within the Stayer Center for Executive Education provides our non-degree participants and degree students. We can all be proud of the work they do.
In Notre Dame,
Martijn
