Welcome To The Free Training and Development Resource Center

Training and Development is always one of the first places companies look to cut back on budget, so it's been a tough time for trainers, facilitators, and those charged with making learning happen while at the same time having less money to to do it with.

This site contains primarily free resources for trainers, facilitators and group leaders to help them design and deliver effective training experiences, regardless of topic.

In a fast paced world, continuous learning is essential to success. Individuals need to learn to succeed in life and at work. Companies need to ensure their employees continue to learn, so they can keep up with increased job demands, and so the company can gain or maintain competitive advantage.

This site provides resources, ideas, strategies, etc to help those involved in the training and development profession help meet the learning needs of the organization through the use of training techniques, facilitation, and development activities.

Of course, there's also material here for learners themselves, and corporate personnel (e.g. those in human resources departments to help them maximize training and learning effectiveness.
