Expert Resource understands the typical struggle between continuous improvement initiatives and available funding. Therefore, ER specializes in the procurement of government funding to reimburse your company for performance improvements. Our clients often utilize State of California ETP Funding for training and receive an average reimbursement of $1,000 per employee.

Training Needs Analysis

Expert Resource has the expertise to develop a complete training needs analysis in any industry. The report may vary in scope or depth, depending on your requirements. Typically, each company department is interviewed through a facilitated meeting. ER will identify what training and procedures are in place and what training needs to be conducted to improve performance. Whenever available, we will identify internal staff trainers such as company supervisors to facilitate company-specific training. We can also recommend a cadre of world-class training companies in a variety of subjects. ER specializes in the conversion and integration of the training needs analysis into an ETP funding program.

Curriculum and Materials Development

For many companies, the most important training is that related to its core business practices. Since these practices are customized to your way of doing business, perhaps even proprietary, only customized curriculum development will do.

Expert Resource can work closely with your personnel to study your business practices to create a skills-training curriculum specific to your disciplines. ER can develop learning materials to facilitate the workshop which may include participant guides, overheads, video production, procedures, and a trainer guide. The training may be delivered by an Expert Resource professional trainer or your internal staff. In order to practice skills, we incorporate an interactive learning environment such as case studies, role plays, workshop activities or simulations.

Professional and Internal Training

Expert Resource has some of the best trainers and training companies in the United States, some of which have over 200 Fortune 500 clients. All of our training is of the highest quality, yet reasonably priced. In every case, your company has the opportunity to interview trainers and review the learning materials.

Training courses are customized to your specific needs. ER teams with training companies that emphasize real-world application and encourage your employees to bring their experiences or current situations to the workshop. In addition to professional training, we can help to prepare your internal staff to become effective trainers and help them develop their own curriculum. Since many of your key personnel may be highly skilled, it is often beneficial to cross-train others. We can provide a short workshop to teach your internal trainers to become effective instructors. Should your internal staff wish to become trainers on out-sourced curriculum, CalTraining can provide “train-the-trainer” sessions in many disciplines.
