More and more professors and teachers are asked to do training sessions in the corporate world.
Corporate education has been going on for a long time. There is always a need to upgrade staff on skills such as computers, administration policies, creativity and all kinds of workplace functions. There are even professors that exclusively teach in the corporate world.
Another way of accessing the corporate education market in a place like Canada is through schools that are privately owned. This kind of education is seen as a more corporate way of teaching, compared to working for schools that are partially, if not completely government funded.
Professors make good money at these schools. Two of them that come to mind are Herzing College and Everest College, located in Toronto. There are many of them throughout Canada and the United States. A professor working at a private college can make about $40/hr. for a 40 hour work week.
When a professor goes into a workplace to train professionals on how to do their job better this also sets the stage for the potential for in-house employment on this level too. Sometimes a trainer may be brought in to do diversity workshops as one example. This diversity trainer may be kept on in-house for a length of time to ensure that the objectives of the training have been met.
