Why Traditional Training Solutions don’t work Anymore

Why Traditional Training Solutions don’t work Anymore | Vocational education and training - VET | Scoop.it
From blog.commlabindia.com - November 14, 2012 7:57 PM

Companies are spending millions to deploy training solutions. Once that is done, all trainings are migrated to it and new trainings added. One would imagine that having this huge library of trainings is enough to take care of any employee’s training needs in order to improve their performance on the job. But wait. Despite the best of intentions, the results are almost invariably a bit disappointing.

Higher Education Is Overrated; Skills Aren't

Higher Education Is Overrated; Skills Aren't | Vocational education and training - VET | Scoop.it
From blogs.hbr.org - November 13, 2012 12:15 PM

There is a mythical belief that higher education invariably leads to higher employment and better jobs. It doesn't. What really matters are skills. The grievously undervalued human capital issue here isn't quality education in school but quality of skills in markets. http://blogs.hbr.org/schrage/2010/07/higher-education-is-highly-ove.html

Training Ideas to Inculcate Skills for Successful Selling

Training Ideas to Inculcate Skills for Successful Selling | Vocational education and training - VET | Scoop.it
From blog.commlabindia.com - November 13, 2012 12:18 PM

Sales training is important for the sales team so that they get to fine tune their skills and techniques. The training program broadly helps sales personnel to understand the selling process, determine the needs of the prospects and speak to them in their language (i.e. from the customer’s point of view). Training also is a useful platform to let the sales team know the common avoidable sales mistakes and maximize meetings with prospects. Over the years, organizations have become more creative in planning the training programs for their sales teams. http://blog.commlabindia.com/elearning/training-for-selling-skills
