What does Training U247 do?
Trainingu247.com is a robust “first of its kind” technical training portal that can be leveraged over thousands of mid-sized companies. U247 Publishing division of iM3 underwrites a portion of the cost of custom-developed client courses, in exchange for an online tuition revenue stream from third-party service agents and sales professionals. Without online product training, companies resort to traditional, instructor-led in-plant training classes. Working professionals that travel to factories for several days of training sacrifice lost service billings and/or commissions plus absorb the cost of travel and lodging. iM3 has a zero-net cost model whereby service agent and sales rep tuitions are cheaper than plant visits; manufacturers are able to train many more students than traditional methods; and rebates on tuitions to the manufacturer recover all costs of the initial module development. By inverting the paradigm and eliminating corporate training silos, students are able to register for multiple courses from many different manufacturers and industries, using a single ID and password.
How are they different?
TrainingU247.com provides the ideal solution offering very affordable courses that are easily accessible online, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, when and where it is most convenient for the student to learn. TrainingU247.com offers tele-coaching and professional groups for students to network, both of which provide additional support to help them find jobs faster. Visitors on the campus of TrainingU247.com are free to browse the course catalogs and investigate all the amenities available to students. Adding high-touch in an online world, TrainingU247.com offers webinars with top career coaches and social media experts.
While some courses are managed by knowledgeable instructors who interface with their students through online forums, other courses are completely self-paced. We encourage the community to form study groups that engage collaboration and knowledge sharing to help provide a supportive learning. Groups include: R&D/ Engineering, Product & Project Management, Manufacturing, Purchasing/Logistics, Marketing/Advertising, Sales, Customer Service, Technical Service/Support, Finance, Accounting, Legal, IT, Security, HR and General Management.
Why could Training U247 be BIG?
Most unemployed and underemployed people do not have the luxury of going back to college to learn new skills. They face family pressures, financial limitations and time constraints.
We eliminate the need for hands-on factory training by delivering higher-value, simulator-based training via the internet.
A world-class learning management system coupled with 3D Simulation training on any subject.
We offer students the opportunity to train only when they need it, 24/7.
We eliminate training costs for both the factory and the students, thus turning training into a profit center.
We make it easy for Corporations to build completed learning programs by underwriting course development in exchange for the tuition revenues. Students save money by eliminating travel and training at home.
How they plan to make money:
There are over 100 industries in need of remote technical training that can’t afford to do so on their own. We are focused on 11 specific industries with a market potential of over $1billion.
We will be working directly with corporations to develop company, products specific training. We are also working VAR’s and channel partners.
Our thoughts:
No thoughts at the moment. Very interesting!
