Website Revision – November 2009 DRAFT -- Customized Training Page Pull together something using these kinds of statements: As a leader in performance consulting and employee development strategies, we serve businesses and organizations of all sizes, across every industry as well as government agencies. Our goal is to help your organization become more effective in meeting – or exceeding -- its goals. Customized training — also called corporate education, workforce development, business training services, contract training and many other names — is training or other performance-based solutions tailored especially for our client’s unique needs. We can provide customized training in a range of areas, from office applications and advanced computer training to business skills, professional development and manufacturing improvements. You can chose from our selection of "standard" non-credit and credit classes or have our instructional designers create a training class or a complete program with your needs in mind. These classes or programs can be provided at your site or at one of our Temple College locations, or some place in between. o Our Division’s headquarters at the Downtown Center, with the neighboring Business Training Center, is one key option. o These two sites have fully equipped classrooms creating effective business learning environments. o They are also conveniently located for all of Central Texas, just a mile east of Interstate 35, at the intersection of Main and Adams in Downtown Temple. You can choose the time of day, day of week, number of hours per session, that work best for our organization’s needs. o A key advantage of choosing customized training is that individuals do not need to travel outside of Central Texas for a day or more at a time to build their skills. For instance, eight hours of training could be scheduled as two, four hour sessions or four, two hour sessions. This keeps the business moving and makes the learning more lasting. We also recognize that training is not the only solution to organizational challenges. We can help you determine what strategies are the best for meeting your needs. One-on-one coaching, meeting facilitation and other organizational development strategies are in our “tool box.” Our instructors and other team members are from the business world. They understand your needs and will work with you to provide effective solutions and superior service, while maximizing your training dollars. Our Clients Include Business Sectors Served Software, Manufacturing, Service, Transportation, Retail, Food Service, Hospitality, Distribution, Healthcare, and Communications.
