BACKGROUND

In 2019, the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation (FDIC) University, a significant training division within FDIC, recognized the need to modernize its training approach. Traditionally, training for roles such as examiners, auditors, and risk analysts was conducted face-to-face in a large office building in Suburban Virginia, near Washington D.C. This method, however, was fraught with logistical challenges and allegations of unprofessional behavior, likened to a 'frat party' atmosphere

 

 

 

Finding the Right Partner

In 2012, training vendors were beginning to add virtual training to their menu of Services, but this organization was looking for a vendor that
specialized in virtual training. They felt that would align with their “virtual first” strategy. 

 

Evaluation of potential vendors led the company to select InSync Training as their virtual classroom provider.

It was a good fit because InSync Training provided: virtual classroom instructional design services; virtual classroom facilitation; and virtual classroom production. Facilitation and production would be available in all the requisite languages, and InSync also partnered with a translation firm that specialized in the globalization of training materials. InSync Training was also able to provide “train the trainer” services to upskill internal company resources in virtual training facilitation and production.  InSync Training was able to meet ALL required elements to satisfy the client's virtual learning needs.
