  • (1888PressRelease) April 07, 2014 - CareerFoundry (http://careerfoundry.com/corporate/) launches its suite of B2B products on April 8th, just one month after launching its customer platform and 2 months ahead of schedule. A customizable training package for vocational tech skills, CF's hybrid product is to train technical teams in new technologies, onboard new employees and accelerate active projects. Mentored programs include training for Front ­End Development, Ruby on Rails, UX & UI Design and Digital Marketing.

    "The demand has been overwhelming. While some employers have begun putting staff through our 3­month consumer programs, it was clear we needed a better solution for teams. We're now in a position to help teams build a skillset around new technologies. This allows new or junior level employees to advance in their field at an accelerated rate, effectively accelerating the business itself."
    Raffalea Rein, CEO of CareerFoundry

    Studies based on peer evaluation suggest that 85% of learning is more effective as a team exercise (http://sciencecases.lib.buffalo.edu/cs/training/videos/Team_Learning.pdf) and that a monitored workflow increases accountability, engagement and retention. CF's mentors instruct optimally ­sized groups of between 2 and 5 students (http://tfsc.uark.edu/193.php), giving personal guidance and providing access to practical, real world tools via their partnerships with service providers like Invision App (http://www.invisionapp.com), Jumpstarter (http://jumpstarter.io/) and more.

    "Our mentors go a level beyond teaching just technical skills. By customizing our program around a company­specific project or need, we train your people while actively pushing your business forward." Martin Ramsin, CTO CareerFoundry.
