"What you learn in the evening, you can use in the morning."

 Raymond L. Newkirk, Ph.D.

 

Welcome to The Newkirk Group. We are an eighteen year old company who uses virtual-learning and in-house coaching to develop executive and management softskills in building high productivity workplaces.

I would like to bring your attention to a new direction in professional education and performance improvement - the workplace skills programs of The Newkirk Group.

Research conducted by the Corporate-Higher Education Forum, a group consisting of top CEOs and university presidents, indicates that a gap exists between campuses and the workplace. For too long now, colleges and private training organizations have neglected workplace skills. As a result, the essential skills and competencies that executives and managers desire in their employees have seriously eroded, if not completely disappeared in some environments.

The essential skills and competencies include managing self, communicating, managing people and tasks, and mobilizing innovation and change. In important ways, these have become echoes of the past as schools and colleges focus on disciplinary or specialized learning while mostly ignoring the core competencies required for success in the workplace.

While some authorities have encouraged academic institutions to foster workplace skills in the college curriculum, The Newkirk Group  has captured the power of the World Wide Web to provide such programs to all people anywhere who have the use of a PC and access to the Internet. In agreement with leaders in business and education, we support the development of a common language of competency-based education. Our programs exemplify this commitment.

Please take time out to explore our global electronic campus, our truly personal university, and see how it can benefit you and your company. Discover how we can begin immediately to build the essential skills and competencies you deserve in your company. Let us begin now to make your life easier. Reflect on our vision and mission and come to understand why we would be an excellent training partner for your company. We are unique in the world of professional education and are dedicated to closing the gap between campuses and the workplace.

 Through our Virtual-Learning Center, we deliver:
  • Basic, Advanced, and Expert Level Professional Certifications
