Training & Professional Development
Harkcon is prepared to assist your business or organization with every aspect of your training and professional development needs, from analyzing training needs, to delivering the training, to evaluating the results of that training in the workplace. Harkcon brings exceptional capabilities and experience in performance based training development and delivery and has a solid track record of delivering superior training, learning, and performance support products. Our experts employ Instructional System Design (ISD) in their approach to designing, developing and deploying training. ISD provides a systems view for sound decision making to determine the who, what, when, where, why, and how of a training program. The application of a systems approach ensures that training courses and the required support materials are continually developed to match the variety of our client needs in a rapidly changing environment.
Harkcon employs experts in instructional design, adult learning, distance learning courseware, learning management system design, job aid and training aid development, and delivering training, enabling us to provide the full range of training services, from total turnkey training programs serving thousands of potential learners to a single, straightforward course.
We bring proven experience providing front-end and diagnostic analysis; job task analysis; media/method selection; instructional design (instructor led, computer and web based, blended, self-directed, resident/nonresident); and performance support tool and job aid development.
Our training meets all SCORM [Sharable Content Object Reference Model], and Section 508 requirements, and includes experience with Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) programs, and courseware production and Harkcon employees have served on key working groups including the Federal Government Distance Learning Association. Our Section 508 experts provide compliance guidance from design to delivery. Harkcon's instructional and human performance technologists, analysts, and trainers will ensure that you receive the right mix of media, method, and learning to support meaningful and realistic individual and team training experiences.
We produce cutting-edge training and our ability to provide training for teams and individuals within high-fidelity constructive synthetic environments strongly supports you in providing cost-effective, realistic training that reinforces basic skills and knowledge, builds staff/unit cohesiveness, and reinforces decision-based learning.
