Ellis Don shows how a corporate university can offer employees a mix of well-branded, targeted learning and development opportunities
Ellis Don’s university began about 10 years ago as a monthly evening session offered to workers. It was a social event for people to learn from each other, with guest speakers talking about the latest project or industry trends. At the time, there were few courses on construction management because it’s a very hands-on field, says Monica Darroch, a learning and development manager at Ellis Don in Mississauga, Ont.
