In my series of what it takes to start a new business, here is a summary of what does it take to become a corporate trainer? India's corporate spend on training is only <2% of employee spending, compared to 12-15% in advanced countries. However, Indian corporates are expected to increase their spend only if they are convinced that trainers can bring real value by focusing on both Specialization and Innovation. Few trends that will drive further growth include: - Micro-learning - Shift from Generic to Strategic modules - Actionable Coaching - Instructor-led interactive video-based learning - Online and virtual learning solutions - Experimental Training Dr Rajan Muthukrishnan, founder Zeal and IATD says, "corporate trainers will have to innovate and adopt new channels of delivery keeping in mind the millennial's preferred way of learning.” Harsh Shilpa, CEO at ICTD and sales trainer says, “the addition of new youth into workforce far outpaces the skills required, leaving a huge gap to be filled by qualified trainers”. Akshay Tiwari, a seasoned corporate trainer at Jaipur believes, “time spent 'off-the-job' for training has to go down making it necessary for training programs to be both shorter and focused.” #businessfacts #newcareer #corporatetraining #traininganddevelopment #trainingbusiness https://www.instagram.com/p/B988_LJFTbb/?igshid=a1jcjcxgcjfl
