Abstract

. The development of modern computer and telecommunication technologies provides opportunities for global development of business. In turn, the globalization of the economy where only competitive companies can survive in the global markets, acts as an important trigger for the development of corporate education, because securing competitive positions is impossible without the training of qualified, competent employees. In such circumstances, the authors aim to explore the impact of the globalized economy on the development of corporate education in the United States as a world leader in this field. The study suggests that globalization processes across all sectors of the economy have a powerful impact on the development of corporate education in the United States. It has been determined that in the context of globalization, the need for corporate education is primarily due to the following main factors: development of modern computer and telecommunication technologies, integration and standardization of production activity, as well as its coordination at the global level, enhancement of labor mobility and changes in its structure, the rapid immigration processes, the occurrence of global crisis, the emergence of new competitors in the market, the shortening of the product’s life cycle
