We have universities and training organizations that we can partner with to provide skills-based training to corporate or government clients.
You choose the concentration desired. We provide the classes, you provide the students.
Together we define an approach to the delivery of learning that works. It starts with a fundamental Foundation Approach where we provide a concentration with Full Classes, consisting of four to six Modules (or Short Courses). Each module in term has four major sections:
- A Title Section
- Learning Content
- Application and Practice
- For More information
We believe in keeping COSTS LOW and do not require textbooks and other high-priced resources. Just about all required content can be found on the web.
Six Reason to Consider The Academy Approach
Reduce Your Barriers To Entry
Barriers to entry bedevil the entrepreneur for these challenges that can prevent a business from getting off the ground. But the educational organization also has barriers to entry when it comes to offering the set of courses required for a concentration or certificate.
Generating good online content is requires a great deal of time and money. On the cheap, you might be able to do it for 4 or 5K for a poorly basic textbook course. (sometimes called putting the syllabus online). But really high-quality content takes much more time and money.
Generate Rapid Growth
Online learning is growing 10x faster than live programs. The 21% growth rate for online enrolments far exceeds the 2% growth in the overall higher education student population. Source: Chronicle of Education
Capitalize On a Good Reputation
On a whole, the U.S. brand for education remains high compared to many countries. Many of the top universities in the world are American universities. Source: US World and News
Expand Your Service Area
Live classes mean students must be local—mostly likely within 30 minutes of the campus. Offering classes in an online format allows one to expand many times.
Focus on The Skills Employer’s Want
According to research done on Business Week, the top three reasons employers have to hire new graduates are:
- Technical competence,
- Communication skills and
- Leadership potential.
And according to INSEAD, communication skills are highly desired in those who receive MBA degrees.
For the past 6 years, recruiters have consistently placed communication skills at the top, or within the top 3, of their skills criteria when they look to hire new people. (GMAC Corporate Recruiters Survey). The 2011 Survey shows this skill set in pole position yet again. (Source: Insead)
We grow people skills — the kind that gets your students’ jobs and never becomes obsolete.
Stand Out — Differentiate Your Brand
Top brands have no problem getting students. Unknown brands will have to work harder. For example, there are over 7,000 higher education institutions in the U.S. according to US Department of Education statistics. ALMOST ALL OF THEM OFFER A BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION DEGREE, as does almost every overseas university. In effect, a management degree is a COMMODITY SERVICE in which smart students should choose a vendor with the lowest possible price. By working together with Legacee, we have a way to differentiate your programs and stand out from the pack.
Advantages of Working With Legacee
Lower Upfront Costs
You will not have to invest 100 to 200K in a learning management system and add to payroll costs by hiring more IT support staff.
Quality Content
We incorporate the best theory we can find. Loading a course with good contact takes between 75 and 100 hours. Most faculty do not have the time needed to research and find good content.
Updated Content
We continually refresh the content so instructors can focus on teaching. Whenever possible, we rely on content available on the web, ebooks, electronic texts, and online videos.
Robust Feedback Mechanisms
Student satisfaction is a priority. We use various feedback mechanisms so we get positive word of mouth. This in turn will lower your marketing costs.
Academically Rigorous Course Work
We want students to put in the effort. And we expect them to work for the degree or the certificate.
A Focus on Applied Learning
Let us face it, employers don’t want to hire theory wonks. They want employees who can make things happen. Unlike many university leadership development programs, we focus on application. Courses include practical assignments and exercises designed to build skills.
Internet Marketing Support
If needed, you have access to extensive in-house Internet marketing expertise. We can train your staff in what they need to know to better market the programs.
Quality Faculty
We can offer short “charm schools” for instructors who are not familiar with educational technology or online pedagogy (or more accurately, androgyny). We can also provide instructors.
