Will In-House Universities Take the Place of Trade Schools?

An article in Adweek suggests in-house universities might be the future of creative learning. For years, employers have offered benefits to allow their most talented team members to go back to school to improve their skills. Typically those programs have been funded individually, so each new team member that requests the benefit has an incremental cost. What if that learning could be brought in-house and offered to an entire team instead?

This concept of an “In-House University” is an intriguing idea that may start taking off as not only a timely response to the common employee desire for constant learning but also a unique benefit that might help companies retain their best people in a competitive job market.
