Makau Expands Professional Development Training to Aid Client Growth

Orem, Utah, November 15, 2005 Companies are finding more and more that they succeed by helping existing staff move to the next level in their jobs. By providing courses that help employees make the transition to management, conduct successful negotiations, or improve team management skills, companies are able to successfully leverage current staff to a higher plane of performance. Makau Corporation today announced the inclusion of 10 new courses to its Professional Development suite of courses. This total set of 22 courses focuses on areas vital to the communication and decision making skills that create success in the front line of organizations.

“People make a difference in an organization when they have the tools to live up to their potential,” said John Jacob, chairman of the board at Makau. “One of the principles Makau promotes is to encourage learning that allows people and groups to thrive. We believe that helping existing staff to succeed is something that defines successful companies.”

Makau uses a blended approach of live and self-paced training to launch training initiatives within companies. By starting with a live training seminar by noted authors and trainers such as Lee Miller or Barbara Jackson, Makau creates excitement around learning and moving to the next level. They then follow-up with self-paced, e-learning courses that reinforce the training employees have received. With-in large organizations they follow a train-the-trainer program that allows in-house training staff to carry the Makau content throughout the company.
