"We are a heavily competency-based company and the LearnCenter platform's ability to track skill sets and competencies was very important to us. We are working on a program that will allow our managers to coach and mentor our employees and with the help of the LearnCenter platform, they will be able to utilize supplemental materials to that training," continued Repka.
"When we researched solution providers, we were impressed with Learn.com's excellent client base and their references and feedback regarding its services. Learn.com's sales and support staff have been excellent, we've very much enjoyed our association with Learn.com thus far," added Repka.
