April 08 2020 - 8:05AM
betterU Education Corp. (TSX VENTURE: BTRU, Frankfurt: 5OGA) (the
"
Company" or "
betterU") is
pleased to announce that it has entered into an annual Software as
a Service (“
SaaS” or
“Ready-To-Go”) Enterprise agreement with one of
the largest staffing firms in the USA, Paramount Staffing
(“
Paramount”).
Earlier this year, betterU’s CEO Brad Loiselle
met in Chicago with Paramount’s VP of Sales Anthony Hegarty and
President Matthew Schubert to demo the Company’s SaaS Enterprise
Ready-To-Go platform. Paramount, is a $200+ Million USD Staffing
Firm, with over 300 employees across the USA and Canada and, like
many organizations, were in search of learning and development
resources and skills development tools that was cost effective,
agile, mobile and scalable to help support their employees’
learning on the go. Many company’s Learning and Development
managers often do not have the ability or bandwidth to bring
together the content required to support all their departments and
teams. betterU, supported by many of their global education and
assessment partners has been able to curate and integrate a
Ready-To-Go content library across top subjects so that HR managers
could provide simple access to their entire organization.
“With betterU’s
Ready-To-Go platform offering so much value-add for a very
appealing monthly subscription cost per employee, it was a no
brainer for us to work together as we train and develop our rapidly
growing sales teams. Brad and his team have been incredible with
their development work, turnaround time and innovative thinking on
how to support us during these unprecedented times. We are excited
about the many great things we will do together over the coming
years,” said Tony Hegarty, Vice President Paramount Staffing.
Ready-To-Go, launched early 2020 and was
developed to support corporate needs -in delivering and managing
effective skills development. The base program, for only $19.95 per
employee per month includes an assessment of an employee’s current
skills and up to 4 learning paths per month per employee, broken
into microlearning programs to support and reinforce on-demand
learning. Each month the employee is reassessed to determine their
improvements in their skills gap and their learning path is
adjusted accordingly. In addition, employers can use Ready-To-Go to
support orientation programs, onboarding, policy and procedure
updates and more customized solutions to meet their unique needs
and challenges.
“Our team has been
working closely with our global education partners to build a
solution that focuses on employee’s skills development rather then
simply selling courses. With Ready-To-Go we are focused on
providing only what an employee needs to support their corporate
requirements. This approach creates better results, while saving
money and time,” said Brad Loiselle, President, CEO betterU.
