For most, trimming has meant the reduction of discretionary budgets, of which IT investments generally and training and education specifically form key parts. Though economic improvement appears to have begun, corporate profit recovery has been protracted and Canadian companies' fixation on improving the bottom line has left little room for a vigorous renewal of employee training and education programs. "The fall out for corporate trainers has been predictable," states Julie Kaufman, one of IDC Canada's leading analysts in the corporate education market. "The contraction of demand has imposed a competitive logic of its own, requiring providers to work harder and smarter to capture and maintain a sustainable piece of market share." This study investigates the corporate training priorities as seen by both business and IT executives of Canadian corporations, and examines the correlations between the level of interest in corporate education and the investment expectations for the 2004 calendar year. Specifically, this document will answer the following questions: Which types of corporate training do Canadian companies consider to be important to the success of their organization for the year 2004? Which of these training priorities are considered to be "most critical", and what are the implications of this on overall training requirements? What training programs are Canadian organizations expecting to invest in, and how does this correlate with current levels of training needs and priorities? How does this gap between "training need" and "training investment expectations" impact the landscape of training opportunity for providers?Get Full Details About This Report >> |
