Program Abstract

Merced College's Workplace Learning Resource Center (WpLRC) is part of a statewide network that provides employee assessment, and customized training for the employees of all types of businesses and companies. The WpLRC provides low-cost, yet completely customized training programs. Our instructors are competent, cooperative and offer flexible schedules.

Our training approach is unique at the WpLRC in that we offer training at the work site based upon the true needs of the organization.  Assessments also enhance the relevance of the information presented and determine to a large extent the duration of the actual classes. The WpLRC addresses all the needs of the employer as well as the special needs of the employee.

At the WpLRC we specialize in training any number of employees from 1 to 1000. Employees can be incorporated from several different companies into training groups of smaller or larger sizes. In this way classes are not too small or too large, resulting in a more cooperative learning environment.

The Merced College's WpLRC is dedicated to and dependent on, satisfied customers. That satisfied customer is the employer that gains better trained, skilled, and competent employees as a result of training received delivered by WpLRC. In today's ever changing job market it is paramount that employers and their respective employees remain poised to take on the challenges of today's complex global marketplace.
