Three new courses have been developed for professionals looking to pivot and grow in the new reality.

Business professionals are looking for new, innovative ways to upskill and diversify.

Content Marketing Strategy: Delivering Value, Inspiring Action teaches acute skills on articulating an organization’s vision and developing a cohesive content marketing strategy that inspires action and drives brand value.

 Demystifying Digital Analytics is a non-technical, self-paced course delivering practical information about how data analytics provide an accurate, real-time picture of online and digital business initiatives. 

 Coaching Program for Leadership Performance is an intensive, one-on-one coaching program that helps learners improve their leadership mindset and capabilities.

 “These programs are an opportunity for our participants to get energized, be inspired and become re-engaged in their jobs and careers,” Wiesner says.

 All programming has been developed with important consideration for participants’ unconventional schedules. “People are working from home, in many cases with kids present, so we have to be more cognizant than ever to have flexible time schedules and to take into account peoples’ endurance for online learning,” Wiesner says. “That means offering learning in smaller pieces, extending courses over longer times and implementing frequent breaks.”

 UBC Sauder Executive Education uses an intuitive, user-friendly learning platform that promotes communication and optimizes collaboration between participants and their project teams.

 “From signing up to receiving their schedule to pre-reading course materials, participants have a concierge service from day one,” Wiesner says. “They create social connections and a virtual community with their team members and professor throughout the course and beyond.”

 Executive Education is also running complimentary webinars led by faculty and leading industry experts. The webinars will feature thought leadership on topics relevant to today’s business leaders.
