Primary Partner: GForce

Funding Requested: $270,000 Total Project Cost: $270,000

This project will transfer the industry's CETP training program from a proprietary vendor
software platform to an industry standard and supported software system. Currently,
only one vendor can make changes to CETP curriculum, so this project will allow PERC
to make changes to existing curriculum and to develop new curriculum. If vendor support

pricing. This is a critical first step to allow for the modularization of CETP materials, and
the Captivate program is compatible with PERC's ELogic learning management system
and provides improved ability to deploy training materials on a variety of mobile platforms.
This project will give PERC the ability to make real time curriculum changes, improve
delivery of workforce training, reduce production costs, and allow for easy integration to
any delivery platform that marketers or educational programs are using.
