Managing the Training Function

The training function is one of the most critical in an organization. Corporate America is spending over $50 billion a year in this area. We can no longer accept training as an “employee benefit” to be reduced when there is some financial pressure. The accountability for training must be recognized and implemented in order to achieve the desired results. In this seminar we focus on the critical issues that have been overlooked for many years.

The ability to ensure that the training function is correctly structured and positioned for maximum benefit is the major advantage of this seminar. The goal is to ensure that each participant has an approach to create the most effective training department possible.

In this seminar we incorporate short lecture discussions with several case studies. There is ample time for group and individual issues to be discussed by the instructor as well as the participants.
