Abstract
Because of its corporate philosophy and its deep immersion in advanced technology, International Business Machines Corporation has an abiding concern for the further training and education of its 260,000 employees. At any given time in this multinational corporation with $10 billion in annual sales, tens of thousands of employees are engaged in some form of training at 275 education centers. IBM's advanced terminal computer-based education is now available at the majority of the company's 230 branch offices in the U.S. For a pervasive look at IBM's training and education accomplishments, Change's editors talked with Charles R. Bowen, IBM's program director for education development, and William C. Carpenter, an IBM education program consultant.
