Education has no expiration date. Even though companies hire already highly qualified employees, people still need to update their abilities and acquire new knowledge continuously – even after getting their college degrees.
96% of employers say ongoing education is beneficial for both the company and the employee, as it has a positive impact on job performance (An EvoLLLution Report, 2012). Besides increasing productivity, these educational programs create integral professionals prepared to face challenges and generate commitment towards the mission of the organization. The success or failure of a company relies on the skills and performance of its human force, so a well-trained and aligned personnel will be productive, efficient and pivotal to the progress of the overall company.
Nobody said it was easy…
However, offering corporate training is costly. Providing physical spaces, guaranteeing the transport and accommodation of professors, planning schedules, are just a few of the typical complications.
The role of technology in education
The good news is that the elearning technology that allows companies to provide corporate training is here.
At Teachlr we have developed a secure, interactive and personalized platform on the cloud for companies interested in offering corporate training. We provide a virtual space where professors and employees interact through online courses, assessments, files exchange, discussion boards and direct messages.
