The Vinod Chachra IMPACT Lab at Radford University uses a business-to-business (B2B) approach in creating strategic partnerships with companies and organizations to meet the training needs of their identified employees.
IMPACT also offers training directly to individuals (B2C) whose focus is improving their skills or changing careers. It employs research-based practices from cognitive science, analytics, scenario-based learning and gamification to ensure it is challenging, highly effective and engaging.
This non-traditional teaching approach decouples learning from time-based models, such as three-hour credit courses and 14-week semesters, and enables IMPACT to empower working adults in Virginia with career-advancing skills.
