Corporate Partnerships

Partnering to develop talent, strengthen organizations, and build the region’s workforce.

Muhlenberg College’s Division of Graduate & Continuing Education partners with regional employers to build stronger, more capable workforces. Through customized training, degree pathways, and professional development solutions, our Corporate Affiliates Program helps organizations cultivate talent, enhance retention, and prepare employees for long-term leadership.

For more than 170 years, Muhlenberg has brought scholars, practitioners, and industry leaders together to tackle complex challenges. Today, we extend that tradition to our corporate partners—creating flexible learning experiences that meet real organizational needs.

A Partner-Focused Approach

We design programs with you, not just for you. Our expert team learns your business, identifies your goals, and builds targeted educational pathways that move employees—and organizations—forward.

The 3D Approach: Discover. Develop. Deliver.

DISCOVER

We work alongside your leadership team to understand your workforce priorities, skills gaps, and long-term goals. Together, we map out measurable outcomes and identify the right pathways for development.

DEVELOP

Based on the Discovery phase, we create customized learning solutions—ranging from targeted workshops to credit-bearing courses to full degree pathways. Organizations may adapt existing Muhlenberg programs or build new ones with our instructional design team.

DELIVER

Training is delivered in the format that works for your workforce: online, hybrid, at your worksite, or on Muhlenberg’s campus.

We measure progress, evaluate results, and refine programs to ensure continued success.
