-
For the past 8 years, Minnesota technical colleges have been offering customized training services to the state's employers. To gather data on what kinds of organizations use custom training (CT) programs, the State Board of Technical Colleges surveyed 600 public and private employers that had used CT services through at least one of the system's six colleges during the 1993 academic year. Study findings, based on a 71% response rate, included the following: (1) CT clients employed more than 400,000 Minnesotans, with a total payroll exceeding $10 billion and total capital expenditures of $1.4 billion; (2) nearly two-thirds of private CT clients were part of larger corporations and operated as either branch plants, affiliates, or headquarters; (3) compared to Minnesota as a whole, CT clients employed a significantly larger proportion of professionals, technicians, precision production workers, and laborers; (4) CT clients exhibited faster employment growth, lower rates of employee turnover, and greater levels of investment and output per worker than their counterparts; (5) more than 4 million hours of training were provided at a cost of more than $100 million; (6) one of every seven training dollars was invested by respondents in CT, with 43% of respondents indicating that CT was the largest component of their training investment portfolio; and (7) 60% of clients reported that their use of CT was associated with the introduction or improvement of existing procedures.
