UNH Professional Development & Training Strengthens New Hampshire Workforce Through Expanded Corporate Partner Services
UNH Professional Development & Training (PD&T) is helping New Hampshire businesses build stronger, more capable teams through its expanded Corporate Partner Services. By collaborating with local organizations, UNH PD&T delivers customized training programs that enhance leadership, improve collaboration, and support employee career growth.
Through long-standing partnerships with companies such as Days Jewelers, Kennebunk Savings Bank, TURBOCAM, ICL Autos, and Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), UNH PD&T provides flexible professional development solutions that align with organizational goals and workforce needs. Central to these services is the Corporate Partners Portal, which streamlines training management and eliminates administrative barriers. Businesses can curate learning catalogs, provide employees with 24/7 access to programs, and manage enrollment flexibly—without upfront fees and with a 15% discount on standard program rates.
Patrick Bergeron of ICL Autos shared the impact of PD&T’s tailored programs: “UNH PD&T transformed ICL Autos’ leadership through customized soft skills training. The program equipped our senior leaders with actionable strategies, and its success led us to extend the training company-wide, improving performance and collaboration across all staff levels.”
Similarly, Maura J. Schuck, CIV USARMY, CEERD-CRREL, highlighted the value of the partnership with ERDC: “It is always a pleasure working with UNH; the trainers are exceptional, have innovative ideas, and deliver high-quality presentations. We sincerely value the partnership we have built over the past six years and appreciate your team’s dedication to understanding our specific, unique needs.”
