Technical Training for Industrial & Technical Workforces
GP Strategies designs and delivers technical training programs that close the gap between what your workforce knows today and what your operations require tomorrow. From craft skills and environmental, health, and safety (EHS) compliance to Lean Six Sigma certification and enterprise technology adoption, we build technical capability that is anchored to how work actually happens: protecting your people, improving safety outcomes, and connecting workforce performance to measurable business results.
Why Technical Training Programs Stall at the Point of Execution
Technical workforces face challenges that generic learning approaches were never designed to solve. The pressure isn’t just to deliver more training—it’s to build capability fast enough to keep pace with operational change, regulatory requirements, and workforce transitions.
Common realities we see:
- Critical knowledge is locked in your most experienced people, and attrition erodes it faster than documentation can capture it
- Compliance and EHS requirements demand consistency that varies sharply across sites, shifts, and regions
- New systems and technologies are deployed before the workforce has the skills to use them effectively
- Certification and credentialing processes are time-consuming and disconnected from on-the-job performance
- Online technical courses are often generic, outdated, and built for a different industry's workflows
Technical Training Should Drive Performance, Not Just Compliance
Most industrial and technical training programs are built around one goal—satisfying a requirement—completing a compliance course, logging certification hours, clearing an audit. That approach keeps organizations compliant, but it rarely makes them better.
The organizations that outperform their peers build something different: a technical capability architecture that connects knowledge to real work, embeds learning into operations, and ties every training investment to outcomes that matter. This leads to faster time to competency, reduced downtime, stronger safety records, and a workforce ready to adopt new technology without losing momentum. That’s what we help you build.
Our Technical Training Capabilities
We combine 60 years of industrial training expertise with modern learning technology to build the technical capabilities your workforce needs and your operations depend on.
GPiLEARN+™ Online Technical Courses
Our purpose-built eLearning library delivers on-demand technical training across energy, manufacturing, utilities, and more—when and where your people need it.
- 1,700+ courses covering EHS compliance, equipment operation, and maintenance skills
- Role-specific learning paths for electrical, mechanical, Instrumentation & Control (I&C) technicians, and industrial operators
- Available in 25+ languages across your LMS, LXP, or ours
- Analytics that connect training activity to measurable outcomes
Craft Skills & EHS Training
We design and deliver craft skills and EHS training for high-hazard industrial environments, combining instructor-led sessions, hands-on practice, and digital learning to build capability that holds up under real operational pressure.
- Craft skills development across mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, and process controls disciplines
- EHS compliance training aligned to Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), and site-specific requirements
- Purpose-built industrial training workstations that replicate field equipment for realistic skill development
- Knowledge transfer programs that capture retiring expertise before it walks out the door
Lean Six Sigma Training & Certification
Our accredited Lean Six Sigma programs equip teams to drive measurable operational change—from foundational awareness through Manufacturing Black Belt certification.
- Off-the-shelf and customizable courses from Yellow Belt to Black Belt
- Focused on practical application: eliminating waste, reducing defects, improving cycle times
- Scalable across functions and facilities
Technical Documentation
We build technical documentation that captures critical knowledge in formats your workforce can use at the point of need—accelerated by GP AIQ+™ without sacrificing the accuracy complex industrial environments demand.
- Procedures, job aids, and maintenance manuals for complex industrial environments
- Job task analysis to identify where documentation gaps create the highest operational risk
- AI-assisted content development to accelerate creation at scale
Enterprise Technology Adoption
ew systems only deliver value when the people operating them are ready. We close the gap between deployment and proficiency with training and support built around how your workforce actually works.
- Adoption readiness assessment and user impact analysis before rollout
- Role-based training strategies aligned to implementation timelines
- Performance support embedded at the moment of need
- Sustainment programs that reinforce adoption long after go-live
How We Deliver Technical Training Results
GP Strategies has built technical capability across the world's most demanding industrial environments: energy, automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, and beyond. That depth is what makes learning velocity possible at scale, without sacrificing quality, consistency, or safety.
Rapid capability building at the pace your operations demand, from go-lives and compliance changes to workforce transitions.
Relevance
Every program is anchored to how work actually happens, so training drives performance, not just completion.
Quality
60 years of proven technical instructional design, enhanced by our GP AIQ+™ platform.
Build Technical Capability That Holds Up in the Field
Most technical and industrial training programs look good on paper but fall short in the field—too generic for the precision your operations require, too slow to keep pace with system and compliance changes, and too disconnected to link training activity to safety or performance outcomes.
GP Strategies builds technical capability that shows up where it counts: faster time to competency, stronger safety records, improved operational efficiency, and a workforce ready to adopt new technology without losing operational momentum.
