University Curriculum Offers Unmatched Flexibility by Combining E-Learning With Instructor-led Classes and Labs
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., April 1, 2002 – HighJump Software, the premier provider of the industry’s most adaptable, Internet-powered supply chain execution (SCE) solutions, announced today that it has launched HighJump University, the company’s enhanced training and development program designed to enable customers and partners to reap the full benefit of HighJump Software’s solutions with a flexible learning schedule.
HighJump Software has offered customer and partner training programs for more than 10 years, but HighJump University has a significantly improved educational curriculum that combines e-Learning and traditional classroom study to instill a full understanding of the capability, ease-of-use and unique adaptability of HighJump’s industry-leading SCE solutions.
"Like our core supply chain execution products, which are well-known for their unmatched adaptability to ever-changing business requirements, the HighJump University program is both robust and tremendously flexible, meeting a wide range of customer and partner needs," said Chris Heim, president and CEO of HighJump Software.
"The new HighJump University program is unique in that we have implemented a blended approach that combines e-Learning and self-study content with instructor-led classes and labs. This technique empowers students to conduct significant prerequisite work online from their office or home, ensuring maximum focus and impact when they attend the class," Heim said. "The flexibility of this platform maximizes our customers’ valuable time by reducing the amount of travel required and allowing them to complete the coursework as their individual schedules permit."
HighJump University courses are designed to support the company’s Warehouse Advantage® Suite and Data Collection Advantage® software solutions. Classes will focus on in-depth learning of the administration, usability, development/adaptability and Web components of the software. The materials are available in several formats, including media-rich, e-Learning courses, instructor-led classes with hands-on labs, printed reading materials and videos.
Partner certification programs are also a key focus of the new HighJump University program according to Kim Current, HighJump University training manager. These programs are designed to support the specialized training needs of HighJump’s strategic partners as they implement SCE projects based on HighJump’s industry-leading solution.
"HighJump partners are the industry leaders in technology, consulting, integration and implementation. HighJump leverages their expertise to provide best-in-class collaborative solutions that result in successful customer implementations, " Current said.
Current also noted that HighJump’s employee base can leverage HighJump University for career development, team building, leadership, product knowledge and other internal training purposes.
