What is Executive and Employee Education?
Decode the world of executive and employee education with UVA|Northern Virginia.
What is Executive and Employee Education?
At its core, executive and employee education, sometimes referred to as Exec-Ed or EELL (Executive Education and Lifelong Learning), is exactly what it sounds like: education for executives or employees at any level to enhance their professional skills.
These programs are typically offered by universities or specialized executive education providers, and they often categorize their work into distinct offerings. A common way to split up this work is by audience – aka programs for individuals and programs for organizations. Let’s dive into these two areas.
