Training grows despite recession

Training Magazine's "Industry Report 2001" (www.trainingmag.com) pegs total training expenditures in 2001 at $56.8 billion, a 5% increase from 2000. The ASTD publication State of the Industry (www.astd.org) finds the same result.

ASTD says this is the first time a recession did not provoke an overall cut in training budgets. A further surprise is the source of the growth.

Training says companies with 50,000 or more employees reduced their overall training budgets by 38% in 2001, and ASTD confirms that finding. But small and medium-size companies either held training expenditures steady or increased them. Training notes in their survey that companies with 100 to 249 employees increased their training budgets 42%.
