LANSDALE, Pa. -- On-the-job-training has become synonymous with long, boring days and employees forgetting what they learned by the time they arrive back at the office. By enhancing conventional training methods that are currently used by most companies, productivity levels are greatly increased.

A recent study found that adult learners respond to a variety of learning methods. Some methods bring perspective. Others teach underlying principles behind a skill. Still others show people specifically how to do something. None do everything perfectly. This is where "blended learning" comes in. By combining various methods of training together, companies will ensure that the right tool is always available. WorkNetSkill's performance support system is a perfect complement to traditional training methods. It offers dozens of modules that employees can log into to view, and provides the information needed to apply those skills on the job, immediately.

"We launched WorkNetSkills because traditional training alone was lacking," remarked Robert Wickman, co-owner and founder of the company. "WorkNetSkills is available 24/7 and most modules take about 20 minutes to complete. It is a 'get-it-done-now' system, that when blended with conventional training methods, completes a comprehensive training program for today's employees!"
