• Resumen

  • This article explores CU implementation and whether it is applicable and effective in emerging countries like Argentina (where there are no studies on the subject). Through an in-depth review of Arcor University (AU), Arcor’s Group CU, located in Argentina, the feasibility of the CU is shown, under certain conditions. This analysis is complemented with specialists´ interviews to deepen our insights and investigation’s results. Our conclusion is that the CU complements Corporate Training’s traditional offering, as its programs are directed towards practical contents and performance/organizational improvement. In this way, it is possible to enhance the actual corporate educational paradigm and talent employability. The research design is not experimental and is transversal as it relates to a specific moment in time.
