EXTON, PA – Comcast, Time Warner Cable and Suddenlink have been named charter members of a new Corporate Alliance Program introduced Monday by the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE).
The program is designed to enable operators of all sizes and vendors to jointly address industry issues, develop solutions and prepare for emerging technologies, and to dramatically expand access to training and education available through SCTE or its chapters.
The program includes a variety of opportunities for all constituencies to influence the training roadmap from the executive to the field level and to leverage the work of other Corporate Alliance partners. Operators and vendors of all sizes will have an opportunity to choose among a variety of benefits, including discounts on:
– Individual employee memberships;
– Downloads and registrations for SCTE online and virtual courses; and
– Seats at SCTE Leadership Institute programs at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth and the Georgia Tech Scheller College of Business.
In addition, operator participants with 1,200 or more SCTE member employees can work with SCTE to create customized training programs.
“For the companies that make up our industry, the Corporate Alliance Program provides an opportunity collectively to define current and future needs and to develop solutions that work for the entire industry,” said Bill Schankel, SCTE’s VP of marketing, in the news release. “By providing a common forum for all voices, we can ensure that the needs of all parties are aligned for the greatest possible benefit of our cable workforce members.”
Companies interested in participating in the Corporate Alliance Program, or in receiving more information on the program, can contact Schankel at bschankel@scte.org.
