Enterprise customers subscribing to e-Learning or blended learning libraries, whether existing or new to Element K, will be able to provide more than 300 of Element K’s most relevant courses to their displaced workers for six months upon request at no additional cost.

Our e- Learning courses will take this a step further. Displaced workers can build new skills and credentials online at their convenience to improve their value to prospective employers,” said Dan Heffernan, VP Learning Products. “Element K business skills courses include simulations that will test their knowledge and skills, and our technical courses include assessments, references, labs and practice tests to prepare learners for certification exams and real world application.”
