INDEAL University, a platform offering a curriculum of learning modules for dealers, marked one year since its launch in November of 2018. Available by subscription to INDEAL members, the program provides knowledge, skills, and resources needed to get new hires up to speed quickly and help industry veterans build upon their current skills.

In its first year, INDEAL U has registered over 180 dealerships, through which individual users have collectively completed over 4000 lessons. The platform consists of a growing library of short online videos for “on the go” learning, complemented by live, interactive, ongoing webinars and full-day strategic selling programs.

Acknowledging the commitment of the program's most active users, INDEAL U launched a Learner of the Month program this summer. Individuals are recognized for their passion for industry knowledge as demonstrated by lesson completion and shared program insight. Winners are announced on the platform's blog as well as in a quarterly digest that provides an overview of program news and metrics.

“We are thrilled with the level of engagement we've seen from INDEAL U subscribers, and even more pleased with the overwhelmingly positive feedback we've received”, said Lori McConnell, INDEAL's Continuous Learning Manager. “The program was a direct response to a significant challenge that dealers face and, knowing we are able to provide them with an effective resolution that will only continue to improve, is extremely gratifying”.

INDEAL partners with both dealers and suppliers in the commercial furniture industry, helping them achieve next-level goals through a range of marketing tools and time-saving services and solutions. To learn more about the INDEAL program, visit www.indeal.org.
