In-House Training & Customization
One of the more popular vehicles for accessing the Institute’s educational offerings is the delivery of on-site trainings
and management facilitations. Bringing a training or facilitation in-house gives you the opportunity to customize a
program that addresses your exact challenges and provides a more personal learning experience, while virtually
eliminating travel expenses. Whether you require training for your department or for an organization-wide initiative,
the advanced learning methods employed by The Performance Institute will create an intimate training atmosphere that
maximizes knowledge transfer to enhance the talent within your organization.
Customization:
We realize that not all obstacles can be overcome by applying an “off-the-shelf” solution. While many training
providers will offer you some variation of their standard training, The Performance Institute’s subject matter experts will
work with you and your team to examine your programs and determine your exact areas of need. The identification of
real life examples will create a learning atmosphere that resonates with participants while at the same time providing
immediate return on your training investment. Using interactive exercises that employ actual projects or scenarios
from your organization, instructors can address specific challenges and align the curriculum of each session to your
objectives. While the majority of on-site trainings are focused on smaller groups, The Performance Institute also has the
ability to accommodate organization-wide training initiatives. Utilizing multiple instructors, the Institute has the capacity
to deliver courses to groups of up to 300 participants per day.
