It’s no secret that investing in your employee’s professional growth is the key to staff retention and increased business. By utilizing the free services of MACPA’s professional education planning staff, you can offer high-quality, results-oriented training targeted to your organization’s needs.
“Once we determine the type of training you desire, MACPA staff will take care of all the details,” explained Jean Jernigan, MACPA Member Solutions & Business Development Assistant Director. “As experts in continuing education program planning, we extend our expertise to members, helping bring quality education directly to their employees.”
An MACPA continuing education staff specialist will meet with a member organization to learn about the unique educational needs of his or her organization. Once program needs are determined, the MACPA staff will coordinate the program from beginning to end. The member chooses the date, time and location, and MACPA staff will access an extensive network of resources to find the best instructor, consultant or speaker for the engagement.
A wide variety of topic ideas includes Accounting, Tax, Ethics, Business Management, Communication Skills, Leadership Development, Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance and more.
“The best part is,” Jernigan said, “the program planning is offered free to our members. It’s a huge advantage to companies that want to enjoy the personalized advantages of in-house CPE programs, but don’t have the staff resources to plan them.”
Offering in-house programs can result in significant savings, allowing a company to get more out of a limited training budget. Program costs will vary, depending upon the program’s length, speaker, location, materials, etc., noted Jernigan. “Members can save up to 50 percent off public seminar rates for groups of 10 or more,” said Jernigan, “and we offer satisfaction-guaranteed programs.”
