In the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry, knowledge is power – and your internal experts hold the keys to your company’s unique workflows, processes and competitive edge.
But what happens when an expert takes a sick day, goes on vacation, or leaves the company altogether? How do you ensure that this critical knowledge doesn’t walk out the door, leaving your team scrambling to fill the gaps?
Adding to the urgency is the impending wave of baby boomer retirements, which threatens to leave a major skills shortage across industries. Capturing the knowledge of seasoned professionals before they retire is essential. At the same time, it’s critical to get newer team members up-to-speed quickly on the latest technology and processes so they can be effective contributors to projects.
Global eTraining (GeT) has the solution. By partnering with GeT, AEC firms can transform their internal experts into scalable knowledge hubs while allowing them to stay focused on what they do best: delivering successful projects. Here’s how.
Capture and Share Expertise—The Company Way
Your internal experts know your processes and workflows better than anyone else. With GeT’s Custom Course Builder, The Generator, and the help of AI-Powered Course Creation you can:
Capture Expert Knowledge: Quickly and easily create company-specific training courses tailored to your unique processes and workflows.
Ensure Consistency: Use templates built by instructional designers to ensure training is branded, professional and aligned with your company standards.
Repurpose Existing Materials: Incorporate existing documents, videos and other resources into your training content seamlessly, regardless of their format.
The result? Training that’s not only effective but also deeply relevant to your team’s day-to-day tasks.
