Many companies have developed their own incumbent training programs. Others use suppliers, either bringing them in-house or sending employees off-site. (Off-site training is considered more cost-effective.) Those employers that have used higher education for incumbent training mentioned working with the University of St. Thomas and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
| "We do both. We have an FMEA training this week. A year ago, we brought in some help in learning how to do new product development process to standardize our process. We had all of our engineering staff being trained in the stage gate management of our processes." | Central |
| "For us, it's how many need to be trained. If we have 10 or 15 that need to be trained, we try bringing training in-house. That way, we don't have a day of travel, another day back, and all of that. We look at the overall cost of our engineering staff being gone for four days. We bring the training in if sending them out is going to be a too much. But if it's only a couple of people, we send them off." | Central |
