Underscoring an investment in the growth, development and engagement of their talent, CMI Media Group, a WPP company and Compas, a NMSDC certified diverse supplier, announce the launch of University Learning Services, a dedicated team that will benefit the agency’s ability to scale and create even more dynamic career pathing. Building on the agency’s already best in class learning & development offerings, the new team will improve client outcomes as we enter the post-pandemic, remote-first Future of Work. University Learning Services will also enable the agency to tap into a wider range of non-traditional hires, allowing for a wider talent pool and further diversifying staff.
University Learning Services is a powerhouse team comprising instructional design experts, skill-based coaches and subject matter experts, dedicated to supporting agency-wide learning and development throughout all departments and functions.
