Issue 79   September 2009 Guarantee the Skills to Perform Proficiently from the Comfort of Your Office The need for a skilled workforce doesn’t diminish in a recession. In fact it becomes more critical. With layoffs and downsizing the workforce is forced to do more, do it faster and do it with fewer resources. Frequently, however they aren’t given the tools to do so.   Our clients have voiced their increasing need for skills and tools to ensure that their training is effective, but are limited by today's travel and training budgets. As a response we’ve revised our Criterion-Referenced Instruction (CRI) Workshop, developed by Dr. Robert F. Mager, to be available primarily by distance learning. This will enable training dollars to be stretched further while guaranteeing the acquisition of the skills necessary to develop training that works perfectly every time.   BENEFITS Minimize time away from the job Immediately apply your new skills Rapid access to expert instructors Develop training guaranteed to provide your workforce with skills to perform proficiently Continued access to expert course managers after workshop’s completion Significantly reduce travel costs Learn More   Participant Reactions  “I now can speak the same language as my manager and actually perform my work without extreme hesitation.” - Gigi Woodruff, YMCA    “I did find the workshop to be very valuable. I have not had any formal training to develop training. This will help me today as well as into the future.” - Jerry Sepulvado, Entergy    “I found it all to be very useful and have already had the opportunity to apply many of the skills on the job.” - Carly Jo Smits, Viaero Wireless   and    “The tools are very useful, clear and concise, easy to use. It ... helped that I attended with other colleagues because we were able to learn together and help each other when we had challenges.”    “…the whole CRI concept makes real sense. When I ... restructure ... training courses in my Section, I’m really going to focus on properly stating objectives and making sure the skill checks match the objectives.”   “I've taken many instructional design classes and this class provided me with the best tools to design and develop training.”  Learn More   About CEP CEP is the industry leader in enabling organizations to leverage their workforce as a competitive advantage.
