How to thaw out your frozen IT training budget!
As spring is in the air and the weather begins to warm, many human resource professionals are finding training budgets still in the deep freeze. The reason: they have been unable to create direct links to business objectives and measureable return on investment for there IT training needs. In addition companies today are faced with many challenges, such as:
-
The continual challenge of if and when they should be moving to new technologies. They are further challenged by the impact to their organization these technologies present and ability for the return on their investments. Organizations are then challenged with assessing their current positions in moving to these new platforms and in providing accurate training development plans based on the right training for the right needs.
-
A retiring workforce and preparing for future business needs.
-
Positioning career development initiatives and managing the progress of their people.
-
Identifying the skills they have within their organization and utilizing this effectively.
-
Identifying an organization's skills gap and aligning accurate education opportunities.
As the first step in addressing these challenges and removing the deep freeze, assessments are a vital part in ensuring you accomplish a high training Return-OnpInvestment (ROI). More specifically, assessments help your students, training coordinators, project managers, or human resources professionals to determine the skills already possessed and those that should be developed further.
Utilizing our assessments will help you determine the best education relative to the skills you want your information workers to gain as well as minimize deployment risks by ensuring you have the needed skills to accomplish the tasks at hand. In addition, assessments help training coordinators and managers realize the full potential of their people and to capitalize on their investment.
After the assessment process is completed, your customized learning plan will be created including instructor-led modern classroom training, instructor-led online learning, self-paced learning and more, that has been proven to cut training costs by as much as 60% while delivering greater ROI.
