Employee Training and Workforce Development

Customized Training for Twin Cities Businesses

The IPD offers companies around St. Paul and Minneapolis a large range of customized training courses to offer your employees for an in-person workshop style learning experience. If you are not near the area, IPD can provide most courses virtually for a long-distant interactive learning experience.

IPD specializes in designing custom training courses developed specifically to provide tailored training solutions to the business problems you are trying to solve – including employee retention through professional development.

Employee training increases the skill of your workforce and also improves the communication and comradery of your workplace. Coaching also helps retain your staff by encouraging job satisfaction with new techniques they can immediately engage with and apply.

Our instructors are available to come train at your facility, or teach virtually on our Zoom provided platform, or bring the team to the onsite classroom space at the IPD Training Center facility (with free parking). Our location is in the Midway area near the Minnesota State Fairgrounds.

We Provide a Clear and Defined Proposal – you are provided with a training proposal clearly stating objectives, outcomes, and investment for your training that you can feel confident bringing to any other decision-makers in your organization, if needed.

Training Delivery – location, food, refreshments, online learning platforms, materials, certificates… we take care of all the logistics, so your team can focus on learning and you can get back to work.

Sustainment Beyond the Classroom – our training includes aggregation of evaluations and suggested next steps to continue development outside the classroom.
