How effective is your IT training strategy? Preparing IT staff to defend against modern threats and implement new cloud-based technologies requires ongoing education. But what are the most effective training methods? Which technologies should you invest in? And how do you stack up against your peers?
New Horizons sent a survey to its customer base to gather data and opinions on successful training methods, IT budgets, technology priorities, training challenges and more. We received responses from 351 companies across more than 10 industries. We supplemented these survey results with outside research to create the 2018 State of IT Training report.

- 12% of companies believe their IT training strategy is effective
- 40% of employees who received poor training leave their positions within the first year
