Jacques Whitford is a leader in developing and implementing innovative and practical learning tools to support a variety of training objectives.  We view ourselves as educators, communicators and innovators. We evaluate training programs and provide custom consulting solutions; we create courses and knowledge products that meet the needs of our clients; and we offer a wide array of existing courses through the Jacques Whitford Training Institute in face-to-face, print and electronic media formats.

Our philosophy is that all forms of learning have a place in a modern organization. This includes training, coaching, sharing of successes or 'story-telling', creating knowledge products, performance support and student follow-up.

Our learning philosophy also extends to delivery. We recognize that every organization includes people with different learning styles and preferences, and we are committed to the principles of adult education. As a result, we strongly believe that blended learning is the way to go.

Blended learning combines the best of online and classroom training with coaching, presenting, small group work and ongoing mentoring.  It takes advantage of all of your internal assets, such as technical experts and management gurus, and allows for a timely approach to training development and delivery. Additionally, it allows for an individualized training focus, where we can key in on a specific skill set, communicate the essentials of our approach and test competency - all within a matter of hours.
