The Houston Metropolitan Transit Authority (Metro) invited Learning Designs, Inc. to be a partner in their 2007 training initiative for nearly 1100 salaried employees. There had been limited training opportunities for Metro staff up to this point, and they had significant and diverse needs.

Classes currently offered include:

• Workplace Violence



• Working with Diversity



• Basics of Business Writing



• Train the Trainer



• Performance Appraisals



• Interviewing Skills

Some significant statistics include:

• A 39-point difference between pre and post-assessment scores in Working with Diversity



• A 27-point difference between pre and post-assessment scores in Basics of Business Writing



• A 23-point difference between pre and post-assessment scores in Presentation Skills
