JJiffy Lube® International uses Web-based courses, coaching, instructor-led courses, and computer-based simulation to provide ongoing learning opportunities for employees at its franchises across the country.
Web-based training courses are offered through Jiffy Lube University (JLU) for employees completing orientation and the certification process in 10 different areas, says Kenneth Barber, manager of learning and development for Jiffy Lube (www.JiffyLube.com). Web-based courses are “consistent, easily accessible, and useful when you have a lot of new employees coming through.”
Many ongoing learning opportunities are available through the JLU. For example, every 2 years, employees complete refresher training. “Employees are required to recertify within 2 years, or they lose their certification,” he says.
Optional training is also provided for interested employees, Barber says. That includes courses on Microsoft Word®, PowerPoint®, Outlook®, Excel®, communication skills, and business ethics—all available at no cost to franchisees and their employees.
Unlimited employee HR training—one low cost—no setup, no software to install. Find out why the Software & Information Industry Association voted TrainingToday® the “Best Workforce Training Solution.” Go here for more information or to sign up.
While employees are earning their certifications through the JLU, they also have the opportunity to earn college credits. Two years ago, the American Council on Education (ACE) evaluated the curriculum and determined that individuals who complete all 10 JLU certifications qualify for 7 semester hours of college credit, making Jiffy Lube one of only three franchise companies (along with Starbucks® and McDonalds®) to have earned this honor, Barber says. Through a partnership with the University of Maryland University College (UMUC), employees can also apply the seven ACE credits and take three business courses from UMUC to earn a business fundamentals certificate. Plus, they get a discounted tuition rate if they want to pursue a college degree.

Preventing Sexual Harassment—National—NEW!
Until now, training has been a real challenge—there’s such a load of extraneous planning, preparing, and tracking involved. But we’ve got good news—BLR’s editors have developed a unique new program that’s done all that work for you.
It’s called TrainingToday. This turnkey service requires no setup, no course development time, no software installation, and no new hardware. Your employees can self-register, and training can be taken anytime (24/7), anywhere there is a PC and an Internet connection. Courses take only about 30 minutes to complete.
TrainingToday automatically documents training. As trainees sign on, their identifications are automatically registered. When the program is completed, the trainee’s score is entered. So, when you want to see who has been trained on any subject, or look at the across-the-board activity of any one employee, it’s all there, instantly available to you, your boss, an inspector—even a plaintiff’s attorney.
Course certificates can be automatically generated from within the training center and are automatically retained for recordkeeping purposes.
Unlimited Training That Won’t Bust the Budget
Best of all, in these budget-crunching times, TrainingToday costs only a fraction of what you would pay for a learning management system (LMS). You always know exactly what training will cost, no matter how many programs you use or how many times you use them. There’s just one low annual fee—for unlimited training—calculated by the size of your workforce. Budget once and you’re done!
These are all motivational, actionable courses—for both employees and supervisors—in such key areas as sexual harassment, FMLA, diversity, communication, USERRA, recruiting, and many more. The courses are kept up to date to reflect federal and state regulatory changes and, what’s more, BLR adds new programs continually.
TrainingToday also includes a selection of safety courses—you decide whether you want just the HR courses, the safety courses, or both HR and safety.
If it sounds as if we’re excited about this new service, well, we are—and so is the Software & Information Industry Association, which just voted TrainingToday (formerly the Employee Training Center) the “Best Workforce Training Solution.” Find out what all the buzz is about—sign up for a no-obligation trial to TrainingToday.
