Education doesn’t end with college graduation. Companies are more intent than ever on keeping their employees up to speed on technological developments and industry trends. And in such professions as medicine and law, studying for certifications is a necessary part of the job. But instead of shipping an entire workforce across the country for a conference or training seminar, employers can integrate videoconferencing solutions into the ongoing process of keeping employees fully engaged with the constantly evolving nature of the job. 

Polycom’s UC and video solutions bring expert consultants from various locations into the meeting room for live training sessions, while recorded sessions can be queued up at any time by any employees who needs them. Cisco’s TelePresence systems, which boast top notch video and audio quality, can transform any conference room into an educational hub that eliminates the need for costly and time consuming travel. And for medical professionals, Cisco’s WebEx for Healthcare offers a quick and easy way to access education and training opportunities while connecting with fellow practitioners.  .

It is imperative for companies to stay sharp, but it’s impossible to do so if employees aren’t up to date on all the latest developments in the field. And there really isn’t any excuse for falling behind when a videoconference or web seminar is all it takes to keep the workforce in the loop. So turn that meeting room into a classroom and everyone will get a passing grade.
