Blog Post: Free Live Work Readiness Training Webinar

To introduce its live webinar training series, DTR Inc. is having a free preview on Friday, November 28th at 11:00 AM.  The live webinar will last about one hour, and the specific topic will be “Ethics in the Workplace”.  To find out more information about the webinars, and to request a free ticket to the preview, go to www.workready.org/dtr.htm or send an email to jay@workready.org.  After requesting a free ticket, you will be sent an email with the web address for the webinar, login instructions, a user name and a password.

The topics of the webinars will range from work readiness to customer service to sales skills to supervisor skills to entrepreneurship.  DTR Inc.’s CEO, Jay Goldberg created a work readiness training program called the best in the country by the National Skills Standard Board, is the author of the book, “How to Get Keep and Be Well Paid in a Job”, is a former Service Director for Citibank, and, in conjunction with staff at the Palm Beach County Resource Center, developed what has been called a “revolutionary” entrepreneurship training program.

The intended audience for the free preview is human resource, training and management personnel who would like to sample DTR Inc.’s product offering to determine if they want to sign up their employees for future events.  Business owners are also welcomed since entrepreneurship courses will be available in December. 

With training budgets and staff being cut, it may be up to individuals to improve their value to their employers on their own.  Therefore, individuals can also request a ticket to the free preview since the pay-per-view webinars are priced so that individuals looking to improve their value to their employer by taking work readiness or supervisor development courses can afford to attend them.

In my previous blog I wrote why live events are much more effective than pre-recorded events.  If you have not done so yet, please read that blog.

The success of my training webinars will be based on the positive impact seen in the workplace.  Therefore, the webinars are designed with that goal in mind.  The vast majority of other workplace training programs measure success by how well the participants do on assessment tests, and are structured accordingly.  However, doing well on an assessment test does not mean that workplace attitudes and behaviors were changed.  In fact, many workers will answer the assessment questions by thinking, “What would my boss want”, not, “What do I think is the correct answer”.

That’s all for now, hope to see you in the free preview.
