Educational Media Foundation, recipient of Business Training Library's Revitalization Excellence Award, is a not-for-profit organization that operates the K-LOVE and Air 1 Christian radio networks, founded in 1980. Our partnership began in 2007, when they began a pilot program to create an online university for their employees' development. As time passed, and their pilot program stalled, their dedicated team regrouped and targeted a new group of users to take advantage of the resources available. Educational Media Foundation has gained a lot of momentum for their program by developing unique marketing materials and themes to engage and interest their employees in our online development resources. With the dedication of a small internal team and their account manager at Business Training Library, Educational Media Foundation has nearly doubled the number of employees who have access to their employee training programs, and have achieved an incredible 80% average participation in a completely voluntary employee training program.
The Align 2009 Conference was a tremendous success, bringing together e-learning clients from across the nation to learn more about Business Training Library's services and solutions, as well as share best practices and strategies with one another. "Our clients are the ultimate experts on using our products and technologies to achieve business value. The Align conference allows us the opportunity to bring our clients and partners together, so we can all continue to raise the bar and drive bottom-line results in our organizations," said Dean Pichee, President and CEO of Business Training Library.
