ExecuTrain Virtual Campus:
Shoestring Budget
Monday, July 13th, 2009
When your training budget is tight (and whose isn’t) what are your
options? Training continues, but sometimes on a shoestring. But
you don’t have to make concessions in your budget when it comes to
quality and effectiveness. Many companies operating on a shoestring
are incorporating e-Learning into their education mix. Simply put,
e-Learning delivers more training to more people, and can be very
cost effi cient, leaving more for your bottom line. e-Learning can be
used alone or coupled with instructor-led learning, which allows the
classroom learning experience to expand to day-to-day use. Since
learning isn’t an event, but an ongoing process, e-Learning supports
and augments each instructor-led learning experience. There are
other advantages, too:
- Employees learn when they have the time, increasing participation.
- A wide range of courses means employees receive all the training they need.
- When new training needs arise, they can be met immediately.
- Consistent training anywhere in the world.
