College District Offers
Customized Training Solutions for Business
In a competitive business environment, continued training is a great
way to provide a business with the additional skills and information it
needs to excel. That’s precisely the aim of Training and Development
Solutions (TDS), the contract services division of the Chabot-Las
Positas Community College District.
“We provide organizations with customized on-site employee training and
productivity improvement consultations,” says Leslie Larrabee, dean of
Economic Development and Contract Education.
TDS offers a number of advantages to its customers. TDS will work with
companies to provide cost-effective custom solutions, which apply to
their individual business performance needs, ranging from basic skills
such as math, business writing, and English as a Second Language to
specific job-related areas. TDS can even provide ISO 9001
certification.
“Everything that we do is customized, so we’re as flexible as you need
us to be,” says Larrabee. “When we and our client mutually determine
that training is the solution that is required to solve the business
issue at hand, the curriculum is customized to the organization’s
learning objectives. We are also able to customize the length
that the client needs the program and when and where it takes place.
Most of our training takes place on-site at the client’s, but we do
have computer labs and a multi-purpose room available for off-site
training delivery.”
TDS has worked with East Bay businesses for over a decade and has
taught classes on a wide variety of subjects, including Conflict
Resolution, Customer Service, Diversity: Managing and Valuing
Difference, First Line Supervision Skills, Goal Setting, High
Performance Teams, Interpersonal Communications Skills, Leadership
Development, Managing Change, Meeting Management, Strategic Planning,
Stress Management, Team Decision Making and Problem Solving, Time
Management, and Vision, Mission, and Values Statements.
Their list of satisfied customers is lengthy and impressive: Pepsico,
County of Alameda, Lawrence Livermore National Lab, City of Dublin,
Shea Homes, Kaiser Permanente, Roche Molecular Systems, and the Federal
Correction Institute are just some of the organizations that have
benefited from TDS performance improvement solutions.
