Interactive Onsite Training

Video-based training can be great, and ours is. However, when practical considerations allow for our interactive onsite training, it gives your team a remarkable, memorable, high-impact experience.

WTN’s uniquely powerful, engaging, highly interactive “edutainment” methodology achieves unsurpassed levels of engagement, retention, and internalization.

Our interactive format includes

•  Riveting, realistic “prime-time” episodes performed by WTN’s professional actors/instructors/facilitators
• Interactive discussion
• Interactive exercises
• Roleplay
• Skill practice
• Custom course materials

Along with our existing programs, we can wrap our “edutainment” methodology around the specific content you need to be delivered to your team. Content is tailored to reflect your organization’s workplace and industry. We make pricing affordable and negotiable. We will forward a detailed proposal based on your specific needs and budget.

On-site Harassment training is also delivered in Spanish!

Let us send you a proposal for training by Kit Goldman and Memo Mendez based on your specific needs!
