Training Support
Technical training and professional development programs
Broad Training Experience
We have broad experience developing and delivering technical training and professional development programs, as well as training trainers in both content and delivery. We believe learning occurs when the learner is ready. To that end, we work to find the “What’s In It For Me” message to keep learners engaged. We identify the training exercise or activity first, whether we are training a skill, a concept or an attitude and have a variety of techniques to ensure engagement regardless of training format.
Solution Design
We have over 20 years of experience designing courses and curricula as well as dreaming up unique solutions to meet client needs with respect to audience, geographies, training objectives, budget, and schedule.
