Packaging School & AICC on the Value of Investing in Your Future
Dr. Suggs and Alli Keigley reflect on the value of investing in your future and career through online continued education.

Our very own Dr. Suggs and Alli Keigley write in a feature of BoxScore by AICC.

Dr. Suggs states:

"Now working in the field of packaging education, I’ve often pondered the meaning of “investing in their future” from a company viewpoint. Of course, it means giving an applicant the chance to work at said company, but I think there’s a lot more to it than that. Getting the job is obviously the first step, but what about keeping the job and growing into the role?

“Tell me, and I forget. Teach me, and I may remember. Involve me, and I learn,” Benjamin Franklin once said. Involving an employee in learning stems from a company’s desire to invest in their future—both the employee’s and the company’s. Employee training and development becomes the path for investing in that future. Let’s look at some of the ways this plays out.

Education is critical to growth, and online learning beyond traditional brick-and-mortar school walls is a great way to receive education in today’s world. Research has shown that employee education can increase development and self-esteem. When employees feel like they are contributing to their company, they have a profound sense of value, which in turn boosts their confidence in the workplace. Likewise, it increases their productivity, adding vast benefits to a company. And education can help foster productivity by allowing employees to acquire a wider range of skills. If people learn best when they feel challenged and pushed out of their comfort zone to learn something new, don’t you think it’s a good idea to further their education?"
