November 6, 2006 – New Horizons Computer Learning Centres, Inc., the world’s largest independent IT training provider, today announced that all 100 companies listed in Fortune magazine’s 2006 ranking of America’s 100 largest corporations and over half of the Global 100 have selected New Horizons as their training provider.
New Horizons has provided training to over 23,000 employees of the Fortune 100 companies during the last 12 months. Based upon an audit from an independent research company of student evaluations, New Horizons training yielded a collective 3:1 benefit-to-cost ratio for these companies.
In addition to a positive training ROI, the learning evaluation also concluded:
- 75 percent increase in skill or knowledge was noted by employees upon leaving the training;
- 69 percent of employees experienced a significant increase in productivity;
- 75 percent of employees state that the training received was a very worthwhile investment.
These statistics are based upon data from student survey responses collected immediately after training was received and again two months after the employees returned to their jobs.
The data is then objectively and independently analyzed by Knowledge Advisors, a learning analytics company, to provide reporting on key performance indicators.
“Due to our breadth of offering and global presence, New Horizons is uniquely qualified to meet the complex needs of large organizations,” said Mark Miller, New Horizons president and chief executive officer.
“New Horizons is the only training provider that can offer a consistent level of quality training anywhere in the world while also providing flexible and specialized solutions that map our clients learning needs to their organizational objectives.”
