AchieveGlobal Joins IEEE-USA to Offer Online
Courses in Leadership, Customer Service Skills
WASHINGTON (14 December 2005) —
IEEE-USA, in concert with AchieveGlobal, is
offering online career development courses
designed to equip IEEE members with leadership
and customer service skills.
"In today’s professional landscape, superior
leadership and customer service skills are
critical to achieving desired business results,"
AchieveGlobal CEO Sharon Daniels said. "We’re
pleased to join IEEE-USA in providing this
opportunity to IEEE members."
AchieveGlobal, an international provider of
training and consulting services, offers course
modules in "Giving and Receiving Constructive
Feedback," "Managing Your Priorities,"
"Proactive Listening" and many others. The
courses are approved for continuing education
credit and based upon AchieveGlobal's years of
experience as a leader in the professional
training industry.
In a unique arrangement, IEEE members can access
these courses as individuals, without having to
work for a company under contract with
AchieveGlobal, and for less than the retail
price. A specialized learning management system
allows members to track their progress and
course
portfolio.
"We recognize that today’s engineers need more
than just technical know-how; they also need
interpersonal skills to succeed," said Jean
Eason, IEEE-USA’s vice president for career
activities "Non-technical skills are
increasingly desired by companies employing
engineers."
