New Partnership with ComWorks Multimedia
McLean, VA (PRWEB) January 22, 2005
ITC Learning (“ITC”) and ComWorks Multimedia, Inc. of Birmingham, MI today announced the joint release of their newly developed ComWorks Web-Based Assessment System. The Web-Based Assessment System is the initial product of an intellectual property sharing agreement initiated in 2002.
The Assessment System was developed to provide readily available skills gap analysis capabilities to all organizations, regardless of size. It is based on the thousands of performance-based objectives and technical skills requirements developed by ITC during nearly three decades of design and development.
“For years, our customers have requested a better way of doing things,” commented Bruce Guenther, President and Founder of ComWorks Multimedia. “With the advent of the Internet, both ComWorks Multimedia and ITC Learning can now afford all organizations the opportunity of analyzing their training needs before, during and after their formalized training programs.”
The process of identifying skill gaps and self-generating prescriptions to address those gaps is defined as “Targeting Your Training.” A White Paper is available for downloading at http//www. comworksonline. com
The ComWorks Web-Based Assessment System features a 7,000-plus question database of performance based questions along with the software tools to administer and deliver those questions via the Web. The topical focus of the Assessment System is industrial skills: Electrical Maintenance, Mechanical Maintenance, and Instrumentation.
