Benefits of Networks
Print versionCompanies across the 400 training networks from 1999 to the present day have found that training in the network context is:
- More cost efficient as they have better buying power, as well as Skillnets funding
- More relevant as the companies can commission training that is suited exactly to member needs
- More flexible as training is delivered at times that suit the company
- More accessible as training is provided locally either near the company or at company sites
- More informed as companies learn from, and support one another in the process
- Better facilitated as companies have full time management staff to organise network training and other activities on their behalf
- More useful to the companies as the training that is developed is directly aligned to the companies needs and strategies
- More suited to enterprise needs as companies themselves decide all aspects of the network's strategy, plans and activities
- More beneficial as companies in the network receive new information, share ideas, develop new relationships with their peers in other companies and tap into a wide range of business opportunities that arise from being part of an inter-firm network
