In-House and Customized
Training
On request, ABSA will conduct an in-house seminar at your company's location when
there are sufficient candidates. This will reduce the cost of sending a number of
employees to Edmonton for the seminar.
We will attempt to offer customized training in areas identified by stakeholders.
We will be conducting industry training surveys and are looking forward to hearing
of any needs you may have.
Our variety of topics for Seminars has grown from one or two a few years ago to a
total of nine, not counting our specific in-house customized training Seminars. We
have been widening out in the delivery of our public Seminars from Edmonton
to Calgary and are currently looking at other areas within Alberta to deliver our
seminars.
