Employee Education
"In a highly competitive industry, providing our employees with the opportunity to gain new skills and knowledge enables us to maintain our technical advantage and market leadership. Partnering with a leader in science and technology education, like WPI, has proven to be highly successful for us."
- Richard Schneider '79, former President, Teradyne Inc., Connection Systems Division.
Teradyne Connection Systems, a technology leader in high-performance electronic interconnect systems, worked with WPI's Corporate Education office to develop a customized graduate certificate program that helps its employees become better managers.
WPI offers corporations many ways to engage, educate and train their employees.
