PORTLAND, MAINE (1 September 2005) -Type A is pleased to announce a dynamic partnership with Targeted Learning Corporation (TLC), a premier provider of leadership development content.

Key among TLCs offerings is its Leadership Development Channel™, an expansive leadership content library featuring over 300 live and interactive, video-based training programs. The programs appeal to employees at all levels, from entry-level to executive management, and feature some of the world's leading business gurus, authors, and CEOs, including Stephen Covey, Cokie Roberts, and Pat Lencioni.

“Type A is the ideal partner for TLC," says Taavo Godtfredsen, Senior Vice-President of TLC. "Their ability to take our high-impact, live webinar events to the next level by creating dynamic tools and applications drives real learning.”

Partnering with TLC puts Type A in a position to incorporate expert leadership content into the highly customized employee development programs it designs for its own world-class clientele — at a fraction of the effort it would take to develop or acquire such content from scratch.

“We’re very excited to offer our clients access to TLCs Leadership Development Channel,” explains Anna Belyaev, CEO of Type A. “There’s no leadership development initiative that can’t be enriched by content from the world’s best minds on the subject. Plus, TLCs content complements Type A’s e-learning campaign format in so many ways, we can now provide our clients a much wider range of options for meeting their strategic objectives.”

At a time when organizations around the globe are rushing about to solve an impending leadership crisis, the partnership recently formed between Type A and TLC is both timely and strategic. “Type A is committed to helping its clients make a major difference in areas of their business that really matter,” Belyaev suggests. “If our clients fail to equip the next generation of leaders before today’s leaders make their exit — everyone suffers. Clearly, the emerging leader crisis is a problem that matters, now.”

In every endeavor, Type A and TLC share a common goal: to deliver training that inspires employees to be exceptional leaders and innovators. “We are in this business to make a difference and to help people grow professionally and personally," Godtfredsen affirms. "This is who we are.”
