Description:
Channel Connect is a leading training services company. We specialize in helping clients find answers to tough training questions. The primary obstacles clients face today are finding the time and the resources they need to train more.
However before we talk too much about Channel Connect, I think it is important point out how the training industry is trending today. The training industry is trending heavily and rapidly out of the classroom- moving instead towards more of a student driven, mentored learning experience, delivered by technology-based training systems. This allows the students to easily train whenever it is convenient, from anywhere in world. Students today are well versed in technology and actually prefer the flexibility these training options deliver over the classrooms of yesterday.
There are also many current organizational and financial issues impacting how businesses train today and in the future. These issues are only helping to magnify the size and speed of this pre-existing shift. For those investors who can see this trend and are ready to take action, we are offering a lucrative business opportunity, and the chance to work with a fun company that is positioned perfectly in an explosive market.
Today we currently offer our clients easy access to thousands of high quality, aggressively priced technology-based training programs and online books. Basically, we offer the highest quality training tools, and the most needed training products.
Channel Connect is currently managing the launch of this business. That being said, we have been able to recruit 15+ training partners across North America. These partners primarily consists of business coaches, and IT service providers that actively market and sell our training products and services to their clients. We were also recently awarded a two year contract with a large IT organization (15,000+ members). The goal of the partnership is to help the organization’s members understand how to harness the power of technology-based learning both for internal training, as well as a new business opportunity. We recently built an online university for the organization, and we will be actively recruiting its members to build out our training partner community. The goals of this strategy, is to easily bring our training products and services to the small-to-medium sized business market. We have robust training partner program that provides everything needed to successfully market and sell our technology-based training products.
We are looking for investors that enjoy and understand the importance of education in the marketplace. We would prefer an active investor/s to help oversee the company direction and strategies. However, that is not necessary. We are looking for an investment to help us fund the hiring of additional business development, and operational team members.
