Develop a Customized Course


Cascade Executive Programs offers customized courses tailored to the training needs of your employees and managerial teams. This is a much more cost-effective option for many agencies and organizations looking to hire a consultant for the same type of training.

You can either choose to customize one of our available courses or create a tailored, university-quality management development program for your employees. Cascade can develop a variety of contracts ranging in length, topic, and methods of delivery to suit the needs of the organization and the audience we are serving. Customized courses in the past have addressed topics such as leading change, succession planning, and inter-cultural communication. The design and scheduling of custom courses is dependent on faculty availability and a contract reflecting the cost of customization.
