Case Study - Pennsylvania Department of Education
The Brighton team has worked with the Pennsylvania Department of Education, Division of Food and Nutrition since 2009 converting their traditional in-person training program to an automated online system.
Problems with traditional CACFP and SFSP training included:
- Staff time
- Training costs
- Turnover of childcare staff
- Webinar or in-person, you weren’t sure if the participants were paying attention
- Effectiveness – sponsors were making more mistakes than with eLearning
Traditional in-person training resulted in poor application rates. Only 65% of new sponsors attending the in-person training successfully applied.
With online training, that has increased to 90% who successfully apply!
