Trainers have traditionally been at the core of all corporate training programs. However, emergence of e-learning tools in recent years has created alternative channels and tools for the delivery of training programs. However, the traditional trainer led learning model continues to occupy the central stage as it beats all other modes hands down when it comes to the learning outcomes. gigHub Trainer Marketplace is bringing trainers back at the center of Corporate learning & development ecosystem.
gigHub Trainer Marketplace has been designed by keeping trainers at the center of the delivery value chain. At gigHub, we believe that the best training outcomes can be achieved only by keeping the trainers at the core. Technology should be used to complement and enhance the effectiveness and outcomes. Corporate trainers are better able to recognize the different training needs of groups and individuals. therefore they are better placed to design and deliver trainings which are customized to each groups. The e-training modules are standardized cookie cutter solutions with no customization at all as per the needs of the individual participants.
Existing systems of trainer engagement, however, are archaic, unorganized, cluttered and dominated by layers of inter-mediation with trainers sitting at the bottom of the value chain. Multiple layers of inter-mediation lead to dilution of quality and destroy value for the two key stakeholders, i.e. trainers and corporate. gigHub Trainer Marketplace is addressing these issues by creating a transparent Global platform where the key stakeholders directly interact and engage through a system of unhindered matching of demand and supply and market-driven price discovery.
gigHub Trainer Marketplace empowers the trainers by creating their own playground, where they directly decide what training to deliver, whom to deliver and how to deliver. The marketplace cum SAAS platform has every tool that a trainer needs to plan, create and deliver his training;
Direct Engagement with the Corporate: On gigHub platform, trainers interact directly with the corporate client for suitability evaluation, training customization, delivery scheduling, feedback and most importantly commercials. Unlike the existing vendor driven opaque system, on gigHub, both the trainers and corporate directly decide the commercials while the platform gets paid the fixed facilitation & convenience charge. A transparent system like this is unlocking value hitherto being eaten up by the layers of inter-mediation, thus resulting in better quality & lower cost for the corporate while trainers get both fair revenue and consistent work.
Quality to the Fore: An open platform like gigHub is designed to allow talent and quality to come to the fore. A quality trainer has the best chance of getting recognition and consistent opportunities in an open competitive and transparent marketplace then in an opaque market driven by individual preferences and commercial interests.
