An annual training map for university and research institute training managers
Universities and research institutes are where Nanum Consulting has delivered the most on-site training. But there is no single job called 'university training.' Faculty and staff development, student career and startup education, and industry-academia cooperation and tech commercialization work each sit with different departments and draw on different budgets. Decide what you are buying first, and the quote and proposal will fit.
A university’s year also runs on its academic calendar. Student programs fill the semester, and faculty and staff training fills the breaks. Training funded by project budgets follows its own cycle of announcement, selection, spending and settlement.
Training we have delivered at universities and research institutes
We sorted the course titles and clients of all 2,201 training sessions Nanum Consulting has actually delivered by topic and industry, and counted them. Instead of saying 'we've done that,' we show the numbers. We kept the rows with zero, too — the blanks are what make the other numbers credible.
We also run the same topics in English. Delivering in English — for foreign employees, overseas subsidiaries, expatriates and reports to global headquarters — is one of Nanum Consulting’s strengths: our instructors teach in English themselves, with no interpreter. Across all industries we have delivered 55 English-language sessions for 33 organizations, and 18 sessions of them were at universities and research institutes.
4 ways training differs at universities and research institutes
The difference is in the conditions, not the curriculum. Settle these first, and the rest is simply choosing by topic.
- Each of the three tracks has its own budget and departmentFaculty and staff competency training sits with HR and academic affairs, student employment and startup programs with career services and the startup support center, and technology commercialization with the industry-academic cooperation office. Even within one university, the department that commissions the training and the way it settles costs differ.
- The academic calendar sets the scheduleStudent programs run during the semester, and faculty and staff training runs during breaks. Keep midterm, final exam and admissions periods clear.
- Program budgets are tied to funding calls and settlementTraining funded by government programs comes with fixed selection dates and spending deadlines, plus settlement paperwork. Matching the required forms and supporting documents at the proposal stage makes everything after easier.
- Researchers are new to the language of commercializationThey have the technology but not the words to talk about markets and customers. Generic startup training doesn’t land in technology commercialization and IR training. It has to be rebuilt around the research results.
Training focus by topic
The table above shows what we delivered and how much. This section shows what works differently at universities and research institutes.
Which statutory training requirements apply
Education services (other than K-12 schools) are exempt from regular occupational safety and health training for workers. If you have hospital or facilities management staff, however, assess them separately. The other subjects (sexual harassment prevention, disability awareness, personal data protection, retirement pensions) depend on headcount and the regulations that apply to you, not on industry. We keep applicability and required hours in one place only — our statutory mandatory training page. Enter your headcount and industry in the checker to see what applies to your organization.
Sample annual schedule
This is the typical sequence at universities and research institutes. It isn’t meant to be copied as is. Adapt it to your own organization’s calendar.
| Timing | What to include | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Jan–Feb | Break-time faculty and staff training · Finalize new-semester programs | School breaks are the main window for faculty and staff training |
| Mar–Apr | Launch student employment and startup programs · Respond to project announcements | Recruitment opens at the start of the semester |
| May–June | Tech commercialization & IR training · Mid-term check | We avoid exam periods |
| Jul–Aug | Intensive programs during school breaks · AI and document training for faculty and staff | The most widely applicable area |
| Sep–Oct | Second-half student programs · University–industry collaboration skills | We schedule around admissions season |
| November–December | Project close-out · Performance reports · Next year’s plan | Get settlement paperwork ready early and the rest goes smoothly |
