As a result, companies are increasingly trying to hire skilled talent from their competitors at great cost, instead of developing their own talent.<\/p>\n<p><em>Edumine<\/em> makes it easy for: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>Learners<\/em><\/strong> to fit training into a schedule and progress towards their goals;<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Instructors<\/em><\/strong> to share their expertise and earn money from doing so;<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Talent development teams<\/strong><\/em> to deliver valuable training,<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;\u201cAcross the training industry in general,<br \/>\nthere is a growing trend towards continuous learning, where individuals want to<br \/>\nsqueeze small chunks of training into each day, rather than dedicating hours or<br \/>\ndays to course completion,\u201d added Borbas. \u201cThis is also welcomed by employers<br \/>\nwho seek to minimize downtime and the logistics challenges of sending employees<br \/>\nout on lengthy training programs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur self-paced online learning model allows training to fit into the \u201ccorners of day\u201d and can be extended with scheduled training sessions to reinforce key concepts. We will re-imagine <em>Edumine<\/em> in 2020 as a provider of tailored training programs aimed at specific groups of employees.
