Technical situation
Re-Wiring the Business Model at California Electrical Training
Skilled electricians are always in demand, and California Electrical Training, Inc. forged a successful business model offering high-quality training leading to certification and licensure. However, the company’s reliance on live and in person training created significant barriers to growth. The number of students who could be trained was limited by the number of available instructors, the size of the venue in which instruction was offered, and the schedule slots during which courses could be offered. This in-person training model also meant that any sizeable increase in the number of students reached produced substantial increase in company costs—costs to employ additional instructors, costs to travel to reach students in different regions of the state, and costs to rent training venues.
It was clear that California Electrical Training, Inc. needed to re-wire its business model by introducing online training. However, the company did not employ any IT staff and its personnel did not possess any programming skills. They needed a system that would allow them to develop and deploy graphics and video rich courses without any programming expertise, that would be inviting for trainees, and that would be cost-effective and well supported. They realized that this was a tall order.
