Workforce and Economic Development

A Tailored Approach to Staff Training and Development

Our business is designed to make your business stronger. When you partner with Business and Industry Services, your company’s performance improvement needs are the priority. You don’t have to travel to get training. We’re your neighbors. We live in your community, and we work here, too. And our turnaround is quick.

Our tailored approach is what makes us different. When we partner together, you’ll work directly with a training coordinator to discuss your specific needs:

  • Training objectives: designed to meet your outcomes in mind and to make a measurable difference 
  • Course materials: national, local or custom
  • Number to be trained: 1 to 1,000; no size is too small or too big
  • Training length: 1 week to 1 year, 2 hours to 2 days or more
  • Instructor: Qualified, competent with expertise in the subject area
  • Location: our campus, at your business or off site
  • Cost: within your budget, plus grant funding is available for some training

What are the organizational goals in the next 1, 3, or 5 years?
What tasks must be achieved to accomplish these goals?
What job behaviors are necessary for each employee to complete his/her tasks?
What deficiencies, if any, do employees have in the skills, knowledge, or abilities required to exhibit the necessary job behaviors?
