TALENT ACQUISITION
Nearly 60% of the workforce looked outside of their organization in 2020 for learning and development opportunities since it was not offered by their workplace. Offering education shows your prospective employees that you want them to grow.
People don’t want to job-hop. They want to grow within a company. The ability to grow through learning and development opportunities can be the difference between your top recruit accepting the job or taking a different offer.
SKILLS GROWTH
Employees are a company’s greatest asset. Upskilling existing employees and retraining those whose skills and competencies have become outdated saves time, money and productivity. Promoting employees who have existing knowledge of company goals and processes allows you to maintain momentum while doing what your company does best.
The curriculum is designed by industry leaders to provide your employees with top-notch training and skills to grow.
EMPLOYEE RETENTION & UPWARD MOBILITY
Employee education programs drive employee retention and make room for upward mobility. According to the 2021 LinkedIn Workplace Learning report, “employees at companies with high internal mobility stay almost two times longer than those who don’t.”
WORKFORCE INNOVATION
Employees are showing an eagerness to learn and grow within their organization. For these needs to be met, employers need to provide strong learning and development programs that improve employees skills and allow them to grow within their current organization. That is where we come in.
We offer healthcare, IT and professional development training programs that ensure your employees are equipped with in-demand skills. These programs can be used as a growth mechanism, offered to those who want to grow or transition to a new position or can be used as a way to ensure that each hire is fully-capable of the job roles and responsibilities. All of our programs are certification-based and these credentials are overseen by the top authorities in their respective fields.
