The Training Doctor, LLC, Gives Back to Its Industry and Community

BRISTOL, CT, November 11, 2010 (Press-News.org) The Training Doctor, LLC, an instructional design firm which specializes in workplace learning and professional development, gives back to its profession and its community on a regular basis.

Twice per year the company awards a $500 scholarship to a working professional who is pursuing an advanced degree in training or organization development.

They will also provide up to 20 hours of free, training-related, consulting services to a 501-3c. Recent projects have included advising on a policies and procedures manual, creating an eLearning tutorial on HIV prevention, and providing course outlines for a management training curriculum.

Throughout the year, The Training Doctor loans money to third-world entrepreneurs through Kiva, a micro-lending institution, and donates money to provide cooling vests and "doggles" to the military's working dogs who battle high heat and sand storms in Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa and other US military installations.

"We feel it is very important to give back to our profession, our community, and those who are protecting our freedom," says Managing Consultant, Dr. Nanette Miner. "Each of the causes that we support has special meaning for us. We feel it's important to help increase the skills in our professional community; entrepreneurship is especially difficult to achieve in the countries that Kiva targets, so we focus on helping those in need in third-world countries; and we are all dog lovers here, so supporting our dogs in the military is especially appealing to us."

The Training Doctor, LLC is a custom instructional design firm with over 20 years experience in designing workplace training that works. For more information visit www.trainingdr.com or call 800-282-5474.
