Sibling Group Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: SIBE), (www.siblinggroup.com) (the "Company") announced a targeted focus on corporate e-learning as it continues to move forward with developing a complete lifelong learning company. The Sibling leadership team sees a unique opportunity to leverage great content and technology across educational platforms.
"Today's employees need customized training that eliminates knowledge gaps across subject matter requiring highly engaging content and technology to ensure those employees can succeed," stated Dave Saba, President of Sibling Group Holdings.
In a recent report* on corporate eLearning, the statistics clearly demonstrates the shift in corporate training to online resources:
- 77% of American corporations were using online learning
- Corporate training is a $200 billion industry with eLearning representing more than half $100 billion by 2015
- 80% of employees report using eLearning at work
- eLearning courses are generally shorter by 25-60% than live courses increasing productivity
Forbes reported that corporate learning grew by 15% in 2013 which is the largest increase in spending in seven years and they do not see spending decreasing. They report that 70% of organizations report employee "capability gaps" as one of their top five challenges.**
Mr. Saba continued, "As the economy improves, employers are looking to invest in their talent to ensure they retain key employees and improve their overall performance. The addition of a corporate eLearning organization could counteract the cyclical nature of K12 revenue creating a much stronger operation. The Company believes a strategic partnership or acquisition in corporate eLearning would be a great complement to Sibling's Blended Schools (www.blendedschools.net) transaction. The same delivery system can be utilized at all ages, and with assorted curriculum libraries, in an expanded market." The company is aggressively pursuing opportunities in the corporate eLearning market.
