Looking for a breakthrough strategy to give your team a competitive edge in the marketplace and improve morale? Superior learning experiences should be a primary consideration in employee enrichment.
ECS offers organizations the ability to customize learning solutions specifically to the development needs of employees and organizations with SkillSoft. This technology-based courseware offers access to more than 4,000 courses that are based on a user-friendly, sound learning design. The content is accurate and accessible online 24/7 as is Help Desk support. Participants have access to a registered course for up to one year, greatly enhancing course completion.
With today's work demands and the increased capacity offered by technology, making personal development opportunities available to employees online is a learning process that is here to stay. Although technology-based learning is not for everyone and cannot replace the classroom for some development initiatives, online learning is the preferred strategy for an increasing number of organizations. And, SkillSoft can also be used for follow-up or enhancement of learning after classroom participation.
Online learning offered by ECS through SkillSoft addresses the following issues related to training and development:
- Some employees prefer the use of technology as a learning methodology.
- Employees are often prohibited from participating in training and personal development programs because they are unable to attend outside classroom training.
- Lack of control over learning pace, entry point, timing and methodology interferes with adult learning. People learn at different rates.
- When employees participate in development opportunities, often there is limited follow-up or easily accessible resource materials to encourage retention and mastery of the learning'
- Quality control and consistency in the development of systems and methodologies.
- Employees who are new to the organization, or new to a software application, need just-in-time, easily accessible learning opportunities.
- Employees increasingly request shorter periods of training time.
- Many training sessions or seminars incur costs up-to several thousand dollars each.
- There is currently no means of tracking quality or consistency of content and delivery. There is little, if any, follow-up to any of this development. A web-based product can give such monitoring capabilities.
Via SkillSoft, ECS offers the world's largest online learning program to organizations and individuals at a minimal cost based on the number of courses and employees in the organization.
