However, the value of having the entire team exposed to the same body of instruction at the same time increases the likelihood that everybody can work together.  They will have the same understanding of the strategies and techniques needed to implement action plans.  In other words, everyone is "on the same page."

In-house programs enable companies to not only expand the knowledge of their staffs, but also to involve the student team in establishing cost-saving programs or setting new goals for the team to achieve.  In-house programs translate into a highly motivating experience that emphasizes cooperation, involvement, and results-oriented attitudes.

Economy is Just One Key Benefit of this Approach
AEE seminars can save significant training dollars for the obvious reasons; with greater numbers of attendees, you reduce the cost per person and eliminate expenses of travel, hotel and meals for all those you would normally send to the seminar.  Also, you accrue some not-so-obvious but probably equally important benefits; you can customize content to address specific concerns facing your organization with no fear of losing confidentiality; you can schedule the course at a time that is convenient for your organization, minimizing time away from the workplace; and you instill the concept of working together to achieve your organization's goals.

When it comes to dollars-and-cents, you can enroll up to 20 individuals from your organization for a flat fee of $8,500.  The in-house seminar fee represents the approximate cost of sending six or seven persons to an out-of-town seminar, calculated on a nominal registration fee of $745 plus travel and living expenses.

A Diversity of Proven Courses is Available
AEE has gained a reputation for developing courses with a proven track record of high quality that addresses the most current issues facing the energy and environmental industries.

Companies considering an in-house presentation have a large, constantly growing list of subjects from which to choose.  Unless major modifications to the course content are required, the company incurs no additional start-up costs for an in-house seminar.

The instructors and the course content have been proven time and time again in presentations across the country.  And each intensive seminar comes complete with course workbook and supplemental materials.

In-house seminars can also be expanded to week-long formats when appropriate to a company's specific situation: for example, if a group of new employees needs familiarization with a particular subject, or if less-experience professionals on your staff need a broader overview of a particular topic.
