Professional Development Programs for Small Businesses

When it comes to talent development, many small businesses face similar time and budget limitations. At the same time, they recognize that an investment in training will boost employee skills, productivity and performance while increasing the company’s bottom line.

Corporate College® understands these challenges and the impact professional development can have on a small business. That’s why we offer affordable programs that teach essential skills with immediate impact. These programs can be completed in a day, a week or several months, with limited time away from work.

Need help determining your organization’s training needs? Consider the following:                                                            

  • What are the basic skills all employees need to do their jobs?
  • What skills do your current employees need to take their work to the next level?
  • What is the most cost-effective and timely way for your employees to develop these skills?
  • What sort of training schedule works for you? (e.g., One group completes training every two months)
  • How will trained employees apply their new skills and share their knowledge with others?
