Creating a Lunch and Learn | The Corporate Training School

Description

Creating a Lunch and Learn session is a low-cost training option. It is a great way to introduce a topic or give a small demonstration of a new product or service. You will be shown the criteria involved in creating a great Lunch and Learn environment. They are usually voluntary, thus attendance can sometimes be an issue. With this course, you will be given the knowledge to work through this issue and others.

Our Lunch and Learn course will give your organization a quick and useful tool to add to its training department. You will be able to use it as a follow-up or refresher to a previous training session. It doesn’t have to be just about a learning event, it can also involve collaboration, networking, or sharing best practices between employees.
