Description
Hey there! My name is Kurtis Smith, Director of Training & Content Development at the K-Method Training Group. My career began in the automotive retail industry and from there, I realized that I had a passion for helping others reach their full potential and to take charge of their own personal and professional development. Subsequently, that passion steered me on a path to where I am today. As a dedicated, passionate, and result-oriented training professional, I bring over two decades of experience, know-how and personal insights for developing and delivering workforce training solutions to improve employee-performance. My goal is that you will use this channel to get the answers, information, and directions you need to build your own workforce training solutions. From time to time, other subject matter experts will be invited to speak on topics related to workforce strategies such as: apprenticeships, upskilling & reskilling employees, identifying workforce agents & training partners, finding funding resources, and understanding the tools to grow your business in a virtual environment. To learn more about my structured training solutions and learning platform, visit K-Method Academy, where businesses, trainers and entrepreneurs can discover what tools are available to train, deliver and develop their workforce.
