The North Phoenix Chamber Announces Learning Opportunities for Members
The North Phoenix Chamber is pleased to announce its partnership with member Management Training Systems, Inc. (MTS) to provide eLearning opportunities to our members. E-Learning has become the latest trend in meeting business owner and employee development needs and for good reason! In today's changing economic climate many organizations are looking for ways to deploy training with minimal cost. Having an instructor-led training can be expensive, with costs including instructor fees and travel related expenses. Additionally, instructor-led training isn't always as efficient as it needs to be, considering the logistics of planning and delivering on-site courses and the need for targeted participants to be away from their jobs at the same time. Organizations with satellite offices have the flexibility of providing training without the expense of bringing everyone to one location. The outcome is a cost-effective method of providing training to larger numbers of employees.
You may enroll in 1 course or enroll in an unlimited number of courses for only $129.95 per person for a year’s subscription. Check out the free course, Emotional Intelligence. This course will give you a great overview of how the online learning process works.

"Most small businesses really don't have anywhere they can turn to for guidance."
Since then, he's opened locations in Scottsdale and Anthem.
About a year ago after semi-retiring, Holmstrom joined the North Phoenix Chamber of Commerce. He had more time on his hands and wanted to connect with other small business owners, particularly those just starting up. Through the chamber, he met Lyle Clark, who was taking his first leap into owning a small business with Honest-1 Auto Care, near Cactus Road and Paradise Village Parkway West. A mentorship was born.
