There is no question that training is “on trial,” being charged with incurring costs that exceed the value it brings to the business.  Business leaders are carefully examining training costs and questioning the expenditures.  Unfortunately there is quite a bit of evidence for the prosecution that shows that training alone only delivers about 15 percent effectiveness on the job.  The result is that training professionals are being found guilty around the world.

AGC is proud to announce the release of the Newly Revised 2010 Version of the OSHA 10 and 30 Hour Outreach Training Programs powered by 360Training.com!

The new content launches August 18, 2010 and AGC has scheduled two webinars to help you learn more about this exciting program!

This intensive, interactive course is based on the Kirkpatrick Four Level methodology for training evaluation: Reaction, Learning, Behavior and Results. Participants will thoroughly explore the Kirkpatrick Four Levels and methodology, delve into the reasons why evaluation is critical to training success, and hear case studies and success stories from companies that have used the model effectively.

Today’s challenging climate offers many opportunities for sharp and confident project managers to succeed. Experienced project managers who attend AGC’s Construction Project Manager Course learn from industry experts while learning best practices from their peers gathered from across the country.

A Double-Header Webinar - May 18 & 20 | 2:00 m-3:30PM ET May 18: Independent Contractor vs. Employee May 20: Exempt vs. Non-exempt The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) have announced in recent months that the construction industry will be the primary target for audits and other enforcement activities when it comes to worker misclassification.  As a result, construction HR professionals have been burdened with the responsibility of properly classifying workers and protecting construction companies from these enforcement activities.
