JWUpro for Companies and Organizations
Today’s workforce faces recruitment challenges and skills gaps affecting work quality and efficiency, alongside limited professional development opportunities for motivated individuals. JWUpro partners with organizations to address these issues through tailored and engaging training solutions. JWUpro training helps its client partners attract and retain top talent while enhancing the employee experience through career development.
The core elements of JWUpro training include competency-based learning, organizationally-relevant training activities, interactive custom media and assessments. Our model centers around experiential learning, meaning what your employees learn with JWUpro today can be connected to real-world situations tomorrow.
We also offer the option to issue digital badges through our partnership with Credly. Upon completion of a professional training, participants receive a digital badge highlighting their achievements which enables them to manage, share, and verify competencies digitally. Digital credentials are an efficient and effective way to create a meaningful and relevant culture of recognition in your organization.

What is the commitment level from JWUpro client partners?
“As a Director of Training, I had the opportunity and challenge of sourcing a training provider for my employer. Of all the companies considered, JWUpro provided by far the best customer service and most detailed proposal. They are ahead of the game. Kristin was friendly, responsive, patient and listened well. She asked clarifying questions to confirm our ideas and took the time to make sense of our business and its unique challenges. The proposed training package was intentionally designed and reflected that she understood our needs. She had the experience and plan to help us achieve our goals.” – Ariana Ba, Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Leader
