Boost eLearning Launches Google Search Training for Large Organizations

Posted on: Tuesday, 19 August 2008, 09:00 CDT

Boost eLearning, the pioneer in Google search training for large organizations, today announced Boost eLearning Google Search Training, a hosted application that trains information workers how to quickly and easily extract targeted information from the Web using search practices they never knew were possible. Ideal for large corporations, government and non-profit organizations, Boost eLearning's training instills in workers the expanded range of search skills they need to exploit the wealth of free information on the Web. With Boost eLearning Google Search Training, organizations can turn Internet-powered workers into more productive, savvy consumers of knowledge.

"The Google search engine is one of the most powerful and ubiquitous business tools in today's marketplace, yet only a fraction of today's workforce fully utilizes its functionality," said Victor Alhadeff, CEO of Boost eLearning. "Adding to this issue is the fact that many training directors are simply unaware of the limitless potential of Google in the workplace. Our new training software is designed to help workers of all skill sets tap the vast and accurate query capabilities of Google search. We're excited to help workers across the globe take command of the Google search bar to deliver the information they need to do their jobs better and faster."

From sales to HR and IT, employees depend on Google multiple times a day to find the information they need to do their job. Boost eLearning Google Search Training goes far beyond basic searches to teach workers queries they never thought were possible. By easily excluding ads, pinpointing geographic areas, extracting certain file types and many other powerful search practices, Boost eLearning's online lessons eliminate the time and frustration of failed and convoluted searches.

"It's important that our staff have the tools to efficiently tap the breadth of information available on the Web," said Bill McGowan, Chief Operating Officer at America's Second Harvest, the nation's largest charitable hunger-relief organization. "Google Search Training is helping Second Harvest close this gap by explaining and condensing advanced query building into a simple lesson format."

Boost eLearning Google Search Training helps training and development (T&D) professionals significantly enhance the productivity of today's Internet-dependent workforce. Leveraging the principles of adult-learning theory, Boost eLearning's training provides twenty highly effective lessons, all less than 15 minutes in length.
