The Program’s Role
Typically, courses offered as a part of a defined program are required or recommended for certain roles or functions within the organization. More recently, many companies also offer courses that are not directly related to a specific function, but that support the overall needs of the organization. For example, courses might be supported if they will help employees lead a healthier lifestyle (such as exercise, fitness, or achieving balance) or improve employee satisfaction through development courses related to image (such as appropriate business attire or business lunching tips).
