Building Your Training Dream Team
At EVelop, we believe in empowering organizations to reach their full potential by assembling a dream team dedicated to training and development. This initiative is designed to transcend conventional onboarding processes and embrace a more strategic, holistic approach to workforce growth.
The Importance of a Dream Training Team
Building a dream training team isn't merely a nice-to-have—it's an essential investment in your company's future. Modern business environments demand more than just an HR professional juggling multiple roles. To truly thrive, companies must develop comprehensive training teams capable of navigating complex learning landscapes.
Why Invest in a Training Team?
- Employee Onboarding: While HR may handle initial onboarding, a dedicated training team ensures employees receive continuous growth opportunities.
- Skill Development: Focus on developing essential skills tailored to your organization's unique needs.
- Retention Enhancement: Engaged employees with clear growth paths are more likely to remain loyal and productive.
Structuring Your Dream Team
Creating a successful training team requires careful consideration and strategic planning. Stacey, our visionary at EVelop, has amassed a wealth of experience from diverse sectors—public, private, non-profit, and trade associations. Her insights reveal the following critical components in structuring an effective team:
Understanding Team Dynamics
- Budget Allocation: Evaluate your resources to define how much is available for training and development.
- Vendor Selection: With countless vendors and platforms available, choosing the right partnerships is pivotal.
- Skill Validation: Implement methods to verify that team members possess the competencies necessary to contribute effectively.
Balancing Internal vs. External Resources
Deciding whether to develop training programs in-house or leverage third-party solutions is a common dilemma. Here are key factors to consider:
- In-House Benefits: Customize programs to align closely with company culture and specific needs.
- Third-Party Providers: Utilize these when budget constraints or time limitations exist, or when specialized expertise is required.
Building the Blueprint
Stacey’s experience in collaboration with various organizations provides a valuable foundation for creating a successful training blueprint. This blueprint includes:
- Objective Setting: Define clear, measurable goals for what the training team should achieve.
- Resource Identification: Determine the software and hardware necessary to support the training objectives.
- Strategy Development: Develop a plan for continuous assessment and improvement.
Collaboration and Networking
At EVelop, we are firm believers in the power of networking and collaboration. Through our peer learning groups and vast industry connections, we often help organizations tap into potential team members who share our passion for training and development.

Selecting the right team—be it from within your network or through external channels—requires thoughtful evaluation. EVelop offers guidance on how to navigate this critical stage, helping organizations make informed decisions that maximize their investment in human capital.
Points to Consider:
