Learning for Performance™
Algonquin College Corporate Training (ACCT) helps performance-driven organizations build the knowledge, skills and approaches required of a modern workforce.
Structured learning is a viable and effective option for employee learning and development. However, in today’s environment effective employee development and support is often enhanced through multi-dimensional approaches and solutions. ACCT’s Learning for Performance approach embraces an ecology of learning model* in which structured learning is complemented by performance support, access to experts, talent management, knowledge management, and social networking and collaboration.
Wherever you are in the development of your learning ecosystem, ACCT is well positioned to provide you with the employee-centric learning and support services you need. Start the conversation with us by speaking with one of our professional Learning Consultants – (613) 727-7729 or email us at: training@algonquincollege.com.
*The term “ecology of learning” was coined by John Seeley Brown in a March, 2000, article in Change Magazine. It has since been widely adopted by corporate training theorists and practitioners. A White Paper entitled Learning and Performance Ecosystems – written by Marc Rosenberg and Steve Foreman for the eLearning Guild in 2014 – has been particularly influential.
