Our Corporate Development Managers (CDMs)
Our professional team of CDMs works in partnership with organisations to optimise the workforce skills that will deliver organisational objectives.
Our CDMs are the gateway to the huge resources, skills and experience of The Open University. They work throughout the UK and in continental Europe to advise on which standard courses or programmes may be suitable for your needs. They will also provide detailed information on setting up a bespoke programme for your organisation. Find out more about our customised training.
