- You decide.
- You identify the employee skill gaps (we can help with that if you’d like)
- You identify the type of training needed (we can help you with that if you’d like)
- You choose the method of training - on-site, classroom, or a combination (we can help you with that if you’d like)
- You choose the trainer - public or private education/training entity (guess what, we can help you with this as well)
Which employees are eligible to be trained?
- Almost any employee for whom you’d like to increase their skill level or attain a relevant credential.
How long does the training last?
- There is no set time period - it depends on the employer’s choice of training and curriculum.
Where’s the red tape?
