July 2003 - General Motors, 3M, Motorola, Owens Corning, Deere & Co., Eaton, Pilkington, Owens-Illiniois, Northwest Airlines, Pfizer Inc, Chevron, Levi Strauss & Co, and Verizon have joined together with a shared mission to transform the way their companies research, design, purchase, package, and communicate career development and skill enhancement courses to over 2 million employees.
