The 2006 State of the Industry Report by the American Society for Training and Development (ASTD) shows that U.S employers spend approximately $109 Billion annually on employee learning and development. Out of those dollars the report states that $29.5 billion is spent on outside sources such as consultants and university contract education programs.
With so much money being spent by companies to improve their workforce educational institutions are revamping their programs to try to attract corporate dollars.

As a result they are trying to deliver solid tangible results that corporations can observe.
