Business Consortium Workshop Series

Employee Growth. Employer Gains.

Successful businesses don’t just prioritize their customers—they invest in their people. Hiring the right employees is only the beginning; helping them grow is what drives long-term success.

This professional development series, running from October 2025 through June 2026, is a valuable opportunity to strengthen your workforce and improve organizational outcomes. Each month features an expert-led session focused on critical workplace topics such as leadership, accountability, inclusion, navigating change, time management, and more.

Designed to benefit employees across all industries—manufacturing, healthcare, financial services, retail, or beyond—these sessions deliver practical, relevant insights your team can immediately apply. Whether you're developing emerging leaders, enhancing team dynamics, or working to elevate workplace culture, this series supports meaningful, lasting growth. It’s a smart, strategic investment in your people—and in the long-term success of your business.

Purchasing a Membership

Membership allows Hawkeye to offer valuable training topics at a lower cost to you.

Each membership includes one seat for every business workshop in the current series. Seats are flexible—any employee can attend any workshop, as they are not assigned to a specific person. However, if you plan to send multiple employees to the same workshop, additional seats must be purchased.

Consortium membership is $750 for the first seat and $500 for each additional seat.
