Case Study 1: A large construction company required a short course program to develop its high-potential employees.

Together with the company's senior staff, UTS designed a short course program, which lead to various UTS awards (such as Graduate Certificate in Management, Graduate Diploma in Management or an MBA) depending upon the needs of the employees. The program was delivered in a flexible mode to suit both the company and the participants.

The outstanding success of the program resulted in an additional program being planned for the company's executive team.

 

Case Study 2: A global company's original brief was for a short course program for its Australian and New Zealand functional managers designed to have them "think more broadly - across the business".

UTS developed a program, in three modules each of three days, to run in parallel with a business simulation where the managers competed in teams.

Due to its overwhelming success, the company asked that the program be repeated the following year and also requested an international management program for its European and Asia-Pacific managers.

 

Case Study 3: With its expanding economy and entry into the World Trade Organisation, China is rapidly changing to meet reform demands by fast tracking educational development. UTS was invited to be a provider of short courses for visitors to Australia, particularly government officials, plus legal and commercial professionals.

As a result, UTS is delivering a range of short courses which provide an introduction to the Australian Legal systems including; concepts of natural justice, the rules of evidence, anticorruption techniques, intellectual property, and international law and WTO law.

UTS has developed a strong relationship and is a major provider for this sector.

 

 

Case Study 4: The emergence of the Web left many designers without skills to respond to the complex interdisciplinary approach required to take advantage of new employment opportunities.

UTS designed an integrated three level Web Design program affordable for individuals in need of high quality knowledge and skills. The program is delivered in intensive two-day weekend mode with each level one month apart to allow for consolidation of skills.

This short course has now run for four years with many companies sending teams of staff for retraining. Individual success stories have also been important with real benefits for designers attempting to respond to client demands for website expertise. One freelance participant paid for the first level of the course and her major client was so impressed with her progress they paid for the other two levels.
