InterLINK Trains frequently, to all levels in organizations, from senior executives to working-level production employees. All of our training focuses precisely on a desired business outcome, such as better business performance in a particular area. We see training as a means to an end and this is where we put our focus.

All of our training is fully customized to the client's organization, typically by doing pre-training interviews, obtaining real-life examples and case studies, and using real-life applications and workshops, instead of just theory. We've found that adult learners learn best when they can see direct, practical applications of the material, and we heavily stress "action learning."

We've found that this approach pays off in our very positive attendee evaluations, client testimonials and performance results.

QuickQUOTES

“Warwick Powell led and delivered a training program to about 50 volunteers. The training took place over weekends and evenings. Warwick worked with me and members of my staff to design and present a comprehensive and very effective training that introduced our participants to the layout, health and safety issues, details about the plants and trees, etc. He used role-plays and interactive sessions to make the training interesting and stimulating. As a result of seeing Warwick conduct this training program I can highly recommend him to others. He was very professional and delivered exactly what I had asked for.” — Mike Oates, Curator, Wellington City's Botanic Gardens
