The value of training
In today's competitive work place, there is little time available for training. Yet, a well informed, educated workforce can be your greatest asset. An article in Science's ezine, February 2003, addressed the problem head on: "Our research shows that employees are not learning on their jobs. Only 1 out of 2 feel that they are given a chance to learn new skills. This is a problem for employees and their employers."

Why customized training?
Many companies rely on generic off-site seminars to keep their employees up to speed. But, rarely do these all-in-one seminars teach staff how to carry out your lab procedures or how to use your equipment the "right way." Not to mention that the time spent traveling and sitting through long coffee breaks could surely be put to better use. Other organizations depend on their senior staff to train new employees. However, the repetitive nature of this training can be a real time drainer and this is not always the most effective means for providing consistent training.

Where we come in
TechnoVisions develops training solutions tailored specifically to your organization. We get to know you, your employees and your business goals. Then we evaluate your needs and the best delivery system for meeting those needs. That means that the final content, demos and exercises are customized to meet your organization's distinct challenges. Our training solutions include:

• Training materials to teach new employees how to carry out routine, in-house tasks, such as chromatography, electrophoresis, tissue culture techniques, fermentation, bioprocessing, and media and solution preparation. We also develop multimedia to educate staff on safety procedures and documentation skills.
• Refresher training and development training for current staff.
• Career enhancement training on emerging techniques and trends in biotech.

We're all about the details
Our team members are experienced scientists, videographers and multimedia designers. Our unique background gives us the inside knowledge that allows us to know what to capture on tape and how to present it. We go to every effort to ensure that our final training products are effective and accurate. This means that your demos won't include workers handling biological materials without gloves or preparing caustic solutions without safety goggles. These might seem like minor details to some, but those of us who have worked in the lab know the criticality of providing employees with the proper training.

• on-budget
• on-time
• on-target.

Follow-up
Our commitment to you doesn't end at the delivery stage. We continue to work with clients to assess the effectiveness of the training and to implement testing procedures.
