You’ve been charged with rolling out a training program from end-to-end. You need to provide a training program for a group of employees in locations across the country. This will involve you coordinating everything from site selection to dates, instructors, materials and even travel and lodging. You will also be challenged by the administrative tasks like registration, contracting and payment for service. Don’t forget the post-event reporting! To manage a program like this, you need a trusted team with the experience and expertise required to successfully make it happen. We are that team.
Effectively managing a training program means you have to maintain an end-to-end plan for all the event related details while keeping your organizational goals for the training program in sight. When a task or detail gets overlooked or doesn’t go according to plan, then the project could be at risk. By having an expert team in place to support you, it reduces your risk of having anything short of an exceptional training rollout. In fact, partnering with a company who is an expert in providing an exceptional experience is a best practice utilized by effective organizations more than twice as often as companies who don’t feel they are effective at managing important change initiatives.¹
MicroTek is that partner of experiential learning experts who supports you in achieving your training program goals. We employ decades of knowledge gained by rolling out training programs on behalf of some of the biggest and best companies in the world. We were built on using best practices to implement your program as quickly and painlessly as possible. We act as an extension of your team, managing all the “little details” so you can focus on ensuring the program delivers on your teams’ goals.
Our MicroTek program managers support you in choosing from our broad range of services to customize a solution that meets your unique needs. We develop a plan designed to flawlessly handle all logistics. Specifically, the plan will consider course materials, technology, set up, instructors, venue selection, room layout and size, travel and food
services. All the pre-, during, and post-training activities your plan requires are organized to ensure that the learning experience is optimal for meeting the needs of both the learner and the organization. Ninety percent of learning leaders consider “managing other vendors or outsource processes” to be a critical administrative service capability and our team makes it an easy capability to check off your list.²
Of course, if any of your needs change along the way, we work quickly to realign the plan to the overall strategy and goals for the program, and manage all adjustments seamlessly. When the program is over, we collect and evaluate key metrics for you because we know that companies that evaluate the impact of their training ensure the change is sustained longer.³ Then, to wrap everything up, we simplify billing to meet the needs of your internal reporting practices. Essentially, we are with you from start to finish, making the whole process run effortlessly.
MicroTek’s deep understanding of how to positively impact the training event is what makes us a leader in the world of project implementation. Our professional program managers handle all the “little details” with efficiency so you don’t have to. We are an extension of your team, making it easy for you to provide an exceptional experience, anywhere, every time.
