The Training Advantage

More and more companies are beginning to understand the connection between training and the bottom line. Successful companies invest in training to improve performance and cut down on job turnover. According to Training Daily Advisor, “job skills training was the number one training need identified by participants in a recent survey followed by leadership and supervisory training.” The survey also indicated that companies plan significant increases in their 2015 training budgets. You may be thinking that the only companies that invest in training are the large, well-financed organizations; but, there is another option for small business owners.

Most small businesses don’t have the budget to staff a training department. But, hiring an internal training staff isn't the only way to get your employees the skills they need to help your organization be successful. In Texas, you can take advantage of the Skills for Small Business (SSB) Grant which is available for businesses employing two to 99 full-time employees by filling out a simple, online application. Training dollars ranging from $725 to $1450 can be used at Central Texas College to get the valuable skills your employees need to help your company excel.

To date, Central Texas College Continuing Education (CTCCE) has provided local small business owners with over $40,000 in training. CTCCE offers a wide range of technical and soft skills courses that meet the needs of small business. We can also develop training specifically with your company in mind and offer it at your location or ours. Take a look at our course schedule or contact Teresa Chavez at 254-526-1586 to find out how to get the valuable training your company needs.
