“By switching up the way we deliver information, we can align the best training method with each trainee’s learning style and preference,” said Bruxvoort. “Our employees can better retain information and recall it when they need it, leading to a higher level of preparedness and ultimately a safer work environment.”
Organizations use Apprentice Program solutions from Index to create multimodal digital curriculums that streamline and replace legacy training materials. The solutions help organizations address remote learning requirements, the increase in skilled worker retirement and more.
