Serco brings over 40 years of expertise in designing, developing and delivering performance-based learning solutions for various user populations and stakeholders across Federal Government agencies and Department of Defense organizations. Our 150 learning professionals are experts in designing, developing, and delivering training curricula for all content areas using multiple delivery modes – from in-person and virtual instructor-led (ILT), web-based training, video-based, interactive multimedia interaction to mobile learning and mixed reality learning delivery options.
Serco works with Federal government agencies, delivering performance-oriented human capital management solutions. Our expertise spans the entire hire-to-retire lifecycle, from talent acquisition, workforce planning and performance management to training, knowledge management and succession planning. We develop and deploy human capital management solutions that support Federal government agencies so they can adapt to new mandates, expand the scope of their missions and do more with fewer resources.
At Serco, we focus on individual development outcomes that drive measurable improvements in organizational performance, as well as develop the knowledgeable and highly engaged workforce required for mission excellence. We utilize real-time metrics to monitor performance and are experts in identifying "skills gaps" that may be hindering performance. With this insight, we design and implement effective outcome-based learning solutions that enable government employees to do their very best.
Learning & Performance Capabilities
We tailor training programs to align with an agency's unique mission objectives and accelerate organizational performance using the latest learning technologies and innovative approaches that improve productivity. We develop solutions that expertly blend real-time and on-demand learning approaches to meet the learning styles of a multi-generational workforce.
We have helped millions of students build expertise and transfer learning to their work environment. Strategies such as scenario-based learning, games, simulations, knowledge checks and virtual reality provide reinforcement, experimentation and practice within a low-risk environment. Just-in-time knowledge and performance support tools, such as checklists, job aids, reference materials, glossaries, and other resources, allow for on-demand support. We help organizations deploy robust learning management tools to deliver and track cost-effective training programs' impact on widely diverse and dispersed populations.
