Disney will hold a professional development course in the Baltimore area for the first time next week.

The one-day course, called โ€œDisneyโ€™s Approach to Business Excellence,โ€ will take place Aug. 9 at the Cinemark Theatre in Hanover.

Disney Institute, the professional development team for Disney Parks, Experience and Parks, will teach participants about how they can adapt Disney business practices to their own organizations.

โ€œWeโ€™re thrilled to expand our collaboration with ODP Business Solutions as we take our classrooms on wheels this summer,โ€ said Timo Gorner, vice president of Disney Institute and National Geographic Live, in a statement. โ€œOur experiences are transformative and engaging, and the lessons we share can be applied in your own work environment.โ€

The eight-hour session will cover Disneyโ€™s three pillars of success: leadership, employee engagement, and service.

In addition to the course, ODP Business Solutions will offer participants discounts on office supplies, furniture, technology and other products. Participants will also receive a Disney art print after their first purchase.

โ€œODP Business Solutions recognizes the importance of personal development in the pursuit of business excellence and growth,โ€ ODP Business Solutions President David Centrella said in a statement. โ€œWeโ€™re delighted to team with Disney Institute to support professionals across industries, empowering them with the right tools and environment to reimagine how work is done.โ€
