Case Study 1a (Training & Development)
Workforce Training and Continuing Education Program Services
Workforce Development Services for a State Technical College
This state-funded, coeducational, two-year institution of higher education offers courses of study in
technical vocational education. Their emphasis is on highly specialized advanced and emerging technical
and vocational areas for certification or associate degrees. This college was established 50 years ago and
now has 10 different campuses statewide devoted to workforce development and acquiring technical
skills and expertise.
The Challenge
This institution was seeking an experienced maintenance training partner to help support their
Workforce Training and Continuing Education programs. These programs are offered to local businesses,
and at times can be funded by state grant programs. Various training services needed to be met for this
institution to expand their Workforce Training program. They chose GP Strategies® to
provide maintenance and technical training courseware, industrial training equipment, and facilitators in
order to enhance the college’s training capabilities and curriculum offerings.
