  • Senior HR Generalist

    Tia Hill | NA, Forbo

    “Thank you so much for partnering with Forbo and coordinating our off-site leadership training. The class was not only fun and engaging, but it was also filled with meaningful content that will certainly resonate with our team. Additionally, our instructor was excellent – experienced, patient, funny, encouraging, and incredibly knowledgeable. Their style really helped bring the material to life, and we couldn’t have asked for a better facilitator.”

  • Digital Marketing Manager

    Tara Whitely | Eastwood Homes

    “My employer provided me with an opportunity to take a Management Essentials Certificate Program and it really helped further develop my management and leadership skills for a corporate setting. Through this year-long program, I was able to better understand not only the management strategies at my own company and how those affect our day-to-day and longer-term decision-making, but also key management skills like time management, process management, emotional intelligence, and motivating team members. I know that I’ll be able to apply all that I’ve learned to better lead my team and help further grow our company.”

  • Manager of Continuous Improvement

    Jayme Cram | ADUSA Procurement

    “It was a pleasure to partner with UNC Charlotte for Lean Six Sigma Yellow, Green, and Black Belt training and certification. Participants found the instructor extremely engaging, appreciated the real-world examples utilized in the trainings, and felt they could directly translate their learnings into their day-to-day work. From a coordination standpoint, everyone we worked with was quick to respond to questions and very receptive to any feedback we had along the way.”

  • Director of Human Resources, PHR, SHRM-CP

    Maria T. Soderberg | Barnhardt Manufacturing

    “Our company’s partnership with UNC Charlotte has enabled us to build and enhance leadership and management skills in our employees. Their Leadership Essentials program mixes classroom instruction with practical activities and supplemental learning materials to enhance the experience and deepen the learning. The facilitators and coaches provide an environment that is safe but challenging, allowing participants to grow in knowledge and self-awareness. This investment in our people is an investment in our future, and we are seeing the impact in improved employee relations and engagement.”

  • Training and Development Manager

    Donna D’Alessandro | Union County

    “Union County is proud to work with UNC Charlotte to develop a unique training opportunity for 25 of our Emerging Leaders. UNC Charlotte worked with us to create an interactive, hands-on program that focused on developing leadership essentials. Participants have found the content meaningful and the facilitators engaging. Amy and her team have helped us create something special that we hope will not only provide exceptional training, but also establish a training tradition in our organization.”

  • Human Resources Manager

    Elizabeth Good | Advanced Ceramic Coatings

    “It has been a wonderful experience getting to work with the UNC Charlotte team for our Management Essentials Program. UNC Charlotte does a really great job of getting input from us, for upcoming classes to really tie the material to what we are experiencing in our day-to-day. All of the instructors have been well-suited to teach our classes, having both the backgrounds and personalities to make each experience both relevant and fun.”

  • Learning and Organizational Development Manager

    Chad Roberts | Piedmont Plastics

    “The depth and breadth of the curriculum that UNC Charlotte offers is a perfect fit for our employee professional development needs and they are one of our most valued partners in the creation of training programs for Piedmont Plastics.”

  • Human Resources Director

    Stacey Everette | City of Statesville

    “I highly recommend working with the UNC Charlotte Corporate Training and Executive Education team. We have had over a hundred supervisors, managers, and directors attend Successfully Managing People, Building a High-Performance Work Team, and Generational Impact on Business. The city is focusing on leadership, but the broad selection of courses across disciplines is refreshing. The instructors are very dynamic and make a conscious effort to let supervisors know that they play a pivotal role within the organization and set the tone for the rest of the organization. I have heard from supervisors that they couldn’t help but be inspired to become better leaders once they left the classroom.”

  • Training & Development Manager

    Staphon Snelling | Mecklenburg County Government

    “Thank you to the UNC Charlotte’s Corporate Training and Executive Education team for not only cultivating a culture of continuous learning within our Staff Development team but also building a stronger sense of community within our agency. The skills gained through the Train-the-Trainer program encourage our team to collaborate, connect, and extend their reach across divisions, ultimately enhancing the learning experience for our internal clients.”

  • Director of North American Sales

    Mark Melchior | EAE USA

    “As the domestic headquarters for sales and engineering of a huge multinational manufacturing corporation, it is critical to keep our skills sharp and our leadership team driven towards success. Thankfully, the amazing team at UNC Charlotte’s Corporate Training group was ready for us with the Powerful Leadership: Leading with Purpose and Presence program. To gain a certificate of completion while having a fun and engaging experience, working on our leadership goals, coaching and guidance was such a benefit to the entire executive team. We came away inspired, prepared and renewed with purpose, and I can’t recommend this program highly enough. Thanks UNC Charlotte!”
