Effective Edge

“In developing the interactive training courses, we knew it was imperative that the sessions not simply consist of an often boring PowerPoint presentation uploaded to an e-Learning platform. To keep people engaged and help them develop a passion for our industry, they need to feel like they’re part of something bigger”
