Corporate Training of Employees in Companies of the European Union: Can we Talk about the Formation of a European Model of a Corporate University?
( Pp. 197-201)

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the main features of European corporate universities and to determine their difference from similar structural units that provide the practice of corporate training in the United States of America. In the presented work, the issues reflecting the attitude of the top management of commercial companies of the European Union to personnel policy in general and the formation of intra-company training systems are considered. Taking into account the relevance of the practice of human resource management, the organization of corporate knowledge systems and training, a review of publications reflecting the practice of human capital development has been conducted. The presented review links HR policy with the phenomenon of corporate universities, since they are institutionalized in the corporate organizational system and are conceived as a means of increasing the ability of companies to respond to organizational and technological changes. Thus, an attempt is made to conclude about the possible emergence of a European model of corporate educational practice, different from the practice of corporate training in the United States of America, which is considered the birthplace of in-house training. Conclusions. Currently, investments in training are not limited to specific skills, as in the traditional view of human capital. There is a close connection between personnel policy and the phenomenon of a corporate university, since it is based on the complementarity of personnel practices, which is also influenced by the institutional framework. Despite the fact that over the past two decades European companies have created their own corporate universities, it is not yet possible to talk about a single European model of a corporate university.
