Education dollars go fast, so you have to budget wisely. Spend your funds on the actual program, not mileage and travel time.
The Savings Equation
Do the math! Compare the costs of sending 15 or more of your staff to a seminar to bringing the same course in house. You'll see the savings quickly. Not only does it make sound financial sense, but also you'll get to customize the course to suit your needs.
Sending 20 of your staff to public seminars can cost you as much as $5,600. You can save almost $1,000 by bringing the same program in house.*
