WSB University
We started the WSB University in spring 2006, as a staff driven effort, to enhance the educational opportunities of our staff and clients. We wanted to build a program that would develop not only the professional, but our staff's personal lives as well. To achieve this, we needed to provide more than an engineering curriculum, we needed the program to address the soft skills such as careful listening, sensitivity to issues, flexibility, and leadership.
Vision – To be the desired engineering infrastructure consulting company among premiere clients by attracting, developing, and retaining top talent.
Mission – To develop staff with the skill sets to provide our clients with solutions through an effective education and development program.
Since the kick-off of WSBU, many outside organizations have enrolled and found the classes to be beneficial to them and their organizations. Our most recent addition to the WSBU is a program, consisting of over 30 courses, specifically designed for engineers who are Project Managers or who are on track to become Project Managers. This curriculum was designed with the intention of focusing on the types of specialized skills most important for developing Project Managers. We are developing our curriculum over a five-year period and are testing classes annually to determine those that provide the most value. We believe that by combining the talents and expertise of our staff with informative and entertaining experts outside our firm, we can bring a level of expertise that is unmatched. Our intent is to share some of these opportunities with our clients, which will help bridge our relationship.
The WSB University currently consists of four branches:
The goal is to provide exceptional, client-focused service delivered from all levels of our business. The objective is to develop each of our staff members into a complete consultant who provides valuable input into projects, our clients’ businesses, and the management and leadership of WSB.
