“The demands of today’s workforce are always changing and evolving. Education is central to that evolution, which is why we’ve developed the Professional Workforce Development initiative. Our mission is to provide organizations with industry-standard, up-to-date training that leads to employer-recognized certifications.”

Ken Shaw, EdD
President, Southern Adventist University

HOW CAN WE BENEFIT YOU?

Attract and retain the best talent

  • Partnering with Southern Adventist University to offer current and prospective employees learning and development opportunities can make your organization stand out from all the rest.

 

Invest in the skills of your current workforce

  • Opportunities for your employees to build on their knowledge and acquire new skill sets improve your organization’s services and care.

 

Improve morale and productivity

  • Employees who feel stagnant in their careers are likelier to switch jobs or be less efficient, but development programs can improve company culture and retention.

 

Create space for workforce innovation

  • By opening up paths to advance their skills, you’re keeping your workforce up to date on the latest developments in the field, which will foster innovation and creative problem-solving.

 

Cut down on onboarding by promoting within

  • Hiring and training a new employee takes more time and money than investing in current employees and promoting or advancing from within your organization.

ONLINE PROGRAM OFFERINGS

FOCUSED ON RESULTS

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 Upskilling existing employees and retraining those whose skills and competencies have become outdated saves time, money and productivity.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.
