Learn.com®, the leader in on-demand workforce development and productivity, announced today that Fastenal Company (NASDAQ:FAST), the largest fastener distributor in the nation, with headquarters in Winona, MN, has selected the LearnCenter® platform to deliver on-demand blended training to its employees.

“We needed a solution that would extend and enhance the training and development of our team members by providing on-demand training that was available 24/7, featured self-directed learning and self enrollment in addition to our instructor led curriculum. Using LearnCenter we can manage both aspects of our blended learning initiative within one solution, LearnCenter,” said Dr. Peter Guidinger, Director of the Fastenal School of Business.

“We researched many vendors, but selected Learn.com because we wanted a solution provider with a good track record of successful implementations and upgrades. Learn.com’s strong belief in exceptional client service and addressing the needs of its clients meshed well with our company. Learn.com took the time to know our business and didn’t try to sell us software. We were impressed with LearnCenter’s all in one feature set that included talent, learning and content management without having to buy or integrate additional modules. Key features for us were the testing and survey engine, development plans, reporting features, as well as the solution’s configurability, flexibility and considerable functionality,” added Dr. Guidinger.
