It’s critical to keep your workforce high performing and up to date with best practices through annual and compliance training, continuing education, and professional development opportunities. However, the time and resources this takes can be quite costly, especially if you have employees working second and third shifts, remotely, or in the field. And while online learning can be an effective and cost-saving solution over time, the start-up investment can be prohibitive.

To alleviate nonprofits’ challenges around employee training and development, the Alliance for Strong Families and Communities, in partnership with Web Courseworks, offers two online learning solutions. Both are based on Web Courseworks’ award-winning learning management system (LMS), CourseStage, and allow organizations to take advantage of a customizable learning platform to better grow, develop, and retain top talent.

Learning as a Service, Powered by the Alliance

Learning as a Service is ideal for small to medium organizations that are seeking to develop employees more efficiently and more conveniently. Learning as a Service provides your organization with all the functionality of a learning management system—like recording and reporting on completion of required trainings—and reduces implementation and management costs that typically come with a learning management system. 

Designed for small and medium organizations that:

• Seek online learning for internal employees
• Need to meet annual compliance regulations or provide other recurring training for employees
• Seek a robust and flexible learning platform that can scale to meet growing needs
• Have limited human resources to devote to learning
• Have limited IT and administrative resource to devote to system/product support 

CourseStage LMS, in Partnership with the Alliance

The Alliance has negotiated special rates on the purchase of CourseStage LMS from Web Courseworks. CourseStage LMS includes built-in course authoring, learning assessment authoring, and business analysis tools. The LMS offers an intuitive and mobile-responsive interface that can be integrated with current in-person training programs, social learning, and adaptive learning solutions.

Designed for large organizations that:

• Seek online learning for internal employees and external customers
• Need to meet annual compliance regulations or provide other recurring training for employees
• Have external customers taking training
• Seek an LMS that integrates with a human resource enterprise system
• Need a fully customizable solution
