Many employers offer training to their employees throughout their job tenure. Employer-based training programs are typically used to introduce employees to their roles or to the industry, help them enhance their skill sets, and advance within the company (Indeed Editorial Team, 2021). Most training programs include mentorship opportunities and pathways to strengthen employee abilities. They often foster stronger engagement and connection with the company or organization, help forge an inviting company culture, and boost retention rates.

Some employers go a step further than on-site training to offer employees or potential employees a pathway to a credential designed by the company. These companies are becoming learning providers by developing their own curricula, focusing on broadly applicable technology skill sets such as IT support, cloud computing, and digital marketing rather than niche skills only applicable within the company
