Career Builder Program

Employees Expect It
 
Recruits Demand It
 
Now you can Deliver It!
 

The best companies invest in their people. They realize that their employees are more than a payroll expense. Employees are intelligent and resourceful people who can think, learn, and therefore, continually improve their value and ability to contribute to the organization.

Look around, read the literature, and a theme you will discover is that the best companies within any industry invest in their employees by providing them with training to become a knowledgeable and committed workforce. Training is not simply another perk or reward for above-par job performance. It is an absolute necessity that pays for itself many times over in improved performance and business results.

The 360 Solutions Career Builder program was designed for organizations that recognize the enormous capability of their employees and are willing to invest in their development. The combination of subject matter in the series was carefully selected to represent the most important topics in employee development. It is based upon 20+ years of research into those skill sets that will have the greatest impact upon the performance of employees and, therefore, upon the future of their organizations.

Career Builder gives employees advanced competencies in four critical areas:

§ Self management and personal effectiveness

§ Interpersonal relationships, communication, and trust.

§ Teamwork and collaboration

§ Leadership and accomplishing results through others

The workshops use the latest techniques in adult learning including simulations, case studies, behavior modeling, application exercises, group discussion, and skill building. The emphasis is on application rather than theory. It enables participants to learn new competencies and gives them the tools to apply them back home.
