"The training program that I'm most proud of is from my current company. It's a suite of professional development courses specifically designed for entry-level employees and line managers. The suite includes negotiation skills, presentation skills, business analytics, change management, and coaching modules. We customized the design to infuse it with the employer brand, and the outcome is tangible for the learners. The blended courses were rolled out through classroom training, breakout sessions, simulations, and e-learning modules.
I'm very proud of what the program has accomplished so far. Because we made it available to the entire company, there were no pre-qualifications. That really helped motivated employees who historically had been disinterested in development programs or have not expressed any interest in career progression. Out of the 35 people who participated, seven have been promoted to mid-management. In addition, five moved up from rank and file to supervisory roles, and another three moved up to individual contributor roles."
