Brookfield management consultant wins national contract
Published November 26, 2007 - BizTimes Daily
Organization Development Consultants Inc. (ODC), a Brookfield-based management consultant company, announced today that it has been selected by the Catholic University of America to be the program evaluation provider for the $2.9 million Technology Engineering Scholars project through the U.S. Department of Labor.
The project is aimed at promoting higher education and reducing tuition costs so U.S. citizens might meet the educational requirements for Washington, D.C.-area jobs often held by foreign nationals working in the United States under H-1B Visas.
Daniel Schroeder, Ph.D, a principal with ODC, will be the project manager for the program.
Schroeder, who writes a monthly column about human resources in Small Business Times, said he believes ODC was chosen because of its recognized expertise in program and outcome evaluation, with higher education as an emerging focus of the firm's programs and services of this kind.
The project retrains Americans to fill the positions by helping them earn post-baccalaureate certificates, industry certifications, bachelor's degrees and master's degrees in the high-demand fields of information technology, computer science, and construction engineering.
"We are truly honored to be selected to lead the program evaluation component of this very important project," Schroeder said. "To be part of this groundbreaking program is simply a wonderful opportunity."
As the national university of the Catholic Church in the United States, the Catholic University of America is a community of scholars, both faculty and students, set apart to "discover, preserve and impart the truth in all its forms, with particular reference to the needs and opportunities of the nation."
