Industry Training – Delivering Industry-Wide Training with Rapid Response Capability

December 20, 2022

Background

Industries around the globe are struggling with the pace of change, and it’s a pervasive issue that affects every employer. All work has become ‘digital-first,’ with even the most basic tasks and functions requiring advanced skill development and continuous training.

In addition, industries are regularly impacted by shifts in operational, security, and health or safety procedures resulting from unplanned variables (e.g., COVID-19) that require urgent attention. Research shows that individual employers are ill-equipped to effectively address these challenges.

The solution therefore falls to the industry itself to source, sponsor, and deploy relevant training that effectively responds
to common employer challenges and technology upheaval. And timing is of the essence for industry employers and workers to remain truly relevant.

Progressive jurisdictions are now addressing the challenge top-down.
They do so by deploying licensed or custom courseware, through advanced training platforms that allow for delivery across all employers.

Deploying industry-wide training is hard. We fix that. With SkillsPass, our customers and partners can deliver targeted training to help rescue entire industries struggling with requirements that would overwhelm
a traditional single-employer LMS.

Solution Overview 

SkillsPass supports industry-wide delivery of targeted training to help rescue entire industries struggling to adapt to the pace of change.

  • INDUSTRY SCALE & INTEGRATED — Our platform reimagines the way interdependent industry groups connect and seamlessly deliver core and critical training for all industry employers and workers.
  • WITH FLEXIBLE CONTENT DELIVERY— The MarketPlus training hub supports the delivery of 3rd party courseware as well as our library of customized eLearning products. With on-demand and broad accessibility, the platform provides training advancements that benefit all stakeholders.
  • AND RAPID RESPONSE CAPABILITY — Regardless of the driver, industry training requires immediate action- we get it. We deliver exceptional time-to-value with our launch-ready platform, courseware development capabilities, and full execution support.

    • MULTI-LEVEL REPORTING– Robust reporting and insights at an employer and industry (client) level.
