What sets Engage with® apart from other skills training programs

How We Are Different

What makes us different is what makes our skills training programs better…

Fully Immersive Digital Environment

Fully Immersive Digital Environment

Fully immersive environment using an innovative, multi-user gamification approach to live virtual training. This includes videos, quizzes, games and small group interactions, all designed to inform and engage using real-time interaction.
Evidence-Based

Evidence-Based

Engage with® Skills Trainings have a proven, evidence-base and verified efficacy. Three independent evaluations over five years in three different states have shown lowered staff turnover, decreased use of PRN (as-needed) medications, improved customer service ratings, and increased reports of residents feeling more respected and listened to by staff.

Live instruction by Licensed Clinical Instructors

Live Instruction by Licensed Clinical Instructors

From start to finish, Engage with® Skills Trainings are led by licensed professionals who are experienced and talented teachers with strong clinical backgrounds. There is no self-directed pre-work or homework to worry about or track—just a self-contained, immersive online experience.

On-Demand Training

Flexible Training Options

Many training programs require organizations to either train their own instructors first who then in turn train staff, or require staff to complete self-directed, passive training experiences. Engage with® Skills Trainings offers live, interactive, low cost a la carte or subscription training packages so you can train as few or as many staff as you wish, when you wish.
