Justin Carlson

Project Director

As a project director at Duke Corporate Education, Justin Carlson works directly with large corporate clients to design and deliver innovative educational experiences for their executives. This process typically involves significant collaboration between clients and Duke CE resources, and it’s Justin’s role to smoothly connect all of the various contributors – client learning professionals, faculty, methods experts, and other key elements – to create an impactful learning intervention.

Prior to joining Duke CE’s client group, Justin served as Director of North America for the Global Learning Resource Network (GLRN).  In this capacity, he worked across dozens of global clients in the diagnosis, design and staffing of educational programs. These clients represent a variety of industries including professional services, retail, financial services, telecommunications, hi-tech, energy, mining, aerospace, biotech, media, and many others. Other responsibilities included: identifying and evaluating relevant educators, developing and maintaining productive relationships with network educators, appropriately matching educators to specific client needs, and establishing educator rate agreements. 

He routinely collaborates with Duke CE's other client groups and has met with hundreds of prospective teachers, observing them in programs throughout the United States, the U.K., and the Middle East, and was a primary architect of evaluation and review systems used to create multi-dimensional views of every GLRN educator. In addition, he is an integral part of Duke CE's business development process, contributing to the writing, designing, and resource modeling of client proposals.

Justin enjoys facilitating learning activities, and has helped guide undergraduate courses and developmental sessions at Duke University in this capacity.

Prior to joining the GLRN management team, Justin held the position of Multimedia Developer, creating innovative program materials for Duke CE clients, such as PricewaterhouseCoopers, IBM, HSBC and Merck.

Justin joined Duke CE as a founding member after serving as Multimedia Developer for the Fuqua School of Business at Duke University.  Before joining Fuqua, Justin held the role of Multimedia Coordinator for the Division of Continuing Education at his alma mater, Kansas State University.

Justin is currently enrolled in Duke University's Graduate School, earning a Master's degree in Liberal Studies. He has studied under leading academics at Duke and Oxford University, including a groundbreaking course on Middle Eastern Politics at St. Antony's College, Oxford. Justin graduated from Kansas State University in 1997, cum laude, with a B.A. degree in Humanities, and an emphasis in Philosophy and Vocal Performance. He was voted Outstanding Music Major two consecutive years by the Music Department faculty. He still performs as opportunities arise and recently sang the national anthem for the Durham Bulls minor league baseball team.
