Business Leaders Turn to Online Training to Cut Costs

Columbia, SC (PR WEB) April 25, 2003 -- In the face of a struggling economy and massive budget cuts, business leaders across the nation are relying on online education courses as a viable means of providing their employees with high quality professional development training at a fraction of the traditional costs.

Taking the lead from some of the nations elite colleges and universities, business leaders have begun to recognize the advantages associated with online training, or e-learning. Its cost-effective, and its convenient.

As opposed to spending hundreds of dollars to train one employee in one topic area, employers can now offer that employee a package of over three hundred courses encompassing numerous topics for a small annual fee. Courses, which are taught by experienced professionals, are packaged in categories ranging from Desktop Computing to Business Skills Development to MicroSoft Certification and Web Development. Course topics include Access, PowerPoint, Windows XP, Project Management, Sexual Harassment, and hundreds more.

E-learning is done solely over the internet; therefore, all travel costs are eliminated. And, there are no installation, maintenance, software, or server costs.

Additionally, because e-learning courses can be conveniently accessed from the employees desktop at any given time on any given day, employers control the training schedule instead of having to respond to dates, times, and deadlines established by consultants.

According to Vira Richburg, Vice President of Information Technology at Business Carolina, Inc., Online training is, perhaps, the most convenient, cost-effective means of providing employees with high quality professional development. And, because online training allows employees to access and review the courses as often as they need to, its like having a personal consultant available at all times."
