Student & Sponsor Synergies

In only 3 months, the COVID-19 pandemic has shifted the majority of in-person classrooms and conference rooms to online learning platforms and video based communications. While we are grateful for the technology innovations that have made this transition possible, we are mindful progress remains. In listening to our community, sentiment among students and professionals shows that engagement with classmates and colleagues feels distant. WindyCityWebinars.org is providing a solution.

We facilitate collaborative projects to create continuing professional education (CPE) webinars between corporate sponsors and student leaders to realize synergies and foster community. From real world and case study examples to academic theory, we work with sponsors to create CPE credit eligible webinars on business topics that complement products & services and support training & marketing objectives. Each webinar is enhanced by students using knowledge from their academic major.

During this period of isolation, it is clear that students and professionals alike are seeking creative ways to keep learning alive and communities thriving. WindyCityWebinars.org believes that investing in people is paramount to success. To that end, we warmly invite business leaders to invest in a CPE webinar project. As Napoleon Hill famously stated, “Within every adversity is the seed to an equal or greater benefit.” To learn about sponsor benefits, contact info@windycitywebinars.org.
