The University of Tennessee at Martin is one of the first universities to join a partnership that taps into experience and expertise of the Trump Organization.
The Trump name is among the top 10 recognized brands worldwide with a demand in the marketplace for seminars and online training.
The Trump Organization recently signed a strategic, long-term partnership agreement with JER Group Inc. (JER Online), one of the UT Martin online course providers.
“This partnership is unique, one of a kind and has the potential to substantially impact partner enrollments and revenue,” said Dr. John E. Reid Jr., president of JER Group Inc.
The main focus of the partnership is training specific to business education and professional development. Trump University teaches real-world education in areas like marketing, entrepreneurship, real estate, wealth creation and self-assessment.
Many of the courses and programs are accredited by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training.
Enrolled students will learn from top experts in the field including faculty made up of Fortune 500 senior executives, outstanding entrepreneurs and also professors from the world’s leading educational institutions.
“We are excited to have the opportunity to partner with JER Online and Trump University. People living in rural areas have limited opportunities for learning,” said Debbie Mount, UT Martin director of non-degree programs. The online courses and programs provided by JER Online and Trump University will make life-long learning an obtainable goal for people in our community.”
