Learning is better than training.

We humans, by nature, enjoy learning!
​We are motivated and excited by learning new, relevant things.​ 
LetterPress designs learning experiences that help people learn HOW to do things they need and want.
​We Create Learning Experiences that
  • ​Engage workers in a meaningful learning experience, not just entertainment or 'fun.'
  • Serve up small, focused units designed for optimal learning. 
  • Focus information and activities on what workers need to DO to be effective in their work.
  • Align with key performance metrics that drive the success of your company.
People don't want to be 'trained.' They want to LEARN! 
​Training too often doesn't deliver the learning. ​​​
Training is inefficient. Takes too long and includes too much information.

Training doesn’t show How-To, they Tell-About. People want to know How and Why.

​Trainees can’t identify why or what to do differently after completing a training.

Trainees can’t make the connection between the training and the job. ​

Training is very one-sided (lecture style) and trainees see this as boring and irrelevant.
