Ways in which more cost-effective use of training events could be effected may include:
• seeking group discounts for participation with future training events
• organizing internal training events and offering these events to internal learners and attendees from other organizations
• undertaking joint venture/cost sharing arrangements with others
• requiring learners to contribute to the cost of the training event, including free-of-charge provision of their time
• working with the organizer/provider to present a shorter duration training event
• developing a more structured internal approach to the sharing of knowledge and skills gained by learners at training events with other employees
