UMUC Forms Partnership with Hitachi
UMUC and the Hitachi Institute of Management Development, a corporate university and subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd., announced a partnership to offer UMUC online courses to Hitachi employees worldwide. This is the first large agreement between UMUC and a multinational Japanese corporation. Hitachi offers UMUC courses as part of its employee development and benefits program. "The UMUC online learning program enables employees to study regardless
of time and place and helps Hitachi meet the increasing demand for high
competitiveness and advanced English capabilities required in today's
global marketplace," said Yasuo Sekijima, board director and general
manager of Hitachi. "UMUC's excellence in providing very in-depth online coursework
as well as the wide variety and quantity of UMUC course options were also
important in our decision to partner with UMUC," Sekijima added. "I am pleased that Hitachi has decided to work with University of Maryland University College to tap the power of the Web to offer education and training to its worldwide employees," said UMUC Provost Nicholas Allen. "We look forward to a long and productive relationship between these two world-class organizations." |
