Education and training are essential to help build the most valuable tool of
your business – your human capital.
Ensuring that your education and training dollars are spent
productively to achieve your business goals is a business
challenge. That's where we come in.
At CAEL, the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning,
we deliver a comprehensive set of Learning and Development
Advising Services designed to link employee learning to company
goals, developing your workforce knowledge while
helping to increase productivity, boost morale, and improve
recruitment and retention efforts.
Learning and Development Advising from CAEL provides your company
with valuable benefits such as:
- Learning linked to company goals: Employees
who are aware of opportunities for growth within the company
are more likely to pursue education and training linked
to business goals.
- Increased course completion: Our studies
show that employees who attend at least one advising session
drop out of courses less often than employees who receive
no advising whatsoever.
- Reduced education program costs: Better
academic choices by employees means lower drop rates and
more productive educational activities, with potentially
reduced time to achieve certificates or degrees. On
average, CAEL clients using career and education advising
saved nearly $1,200 per employee on tuition, books and fees.
How CAEL Learning and Development Advising Works:
- CAEL works with the company to communicate the
availability of learning and development advising, either through group meetings, payroll
flyers
or career fairs.
- Through on-site meetings, one-on-one phone calls or via
the internet, employees discuss their interests
and goals with one of nearly 250 professional CAEL advisors located nationwide.
- Advisors then work with employees to develop career
or educational plans
to achieve their goals, administer skill or interest assessments,
and/or assist employees to document their prior learning
for possible college credit.
- CAEL professional advisors can then conduct follow-up
meetings as necessary to ensure employees stay on track
with their outlined goals.
CAEL learning and development advising works best when paired
with an existing company tuition assistance or training program
by either reducing overall costs or increasing participation
in the program. For more information about managing tuition assistance programs, visit the EdLink website.
