Advanced Learning Solutions

Applying the latest technologies to address the training needs of defense and other federal clients

Today’s learners do best with approaches beyond the traditional teaching and learning methods. While new approaches to learning and advances in training technology are key enablers, the net output of any training system must still be a fully qualified, engaged, and capable military workforce ready to take on its role.

Concurrent Technologies Corporation’s (CTC’s) innovative training tools, technologies, processes, and subject matter experts can help build a resilient and operationally ready workforce. We are continually at the forefront of learning technology, from our work in early virtual reality in the 1990s to our activities with generative instructional Large Language Models (LLM) and 3D avatars today.

What We Do

Workforce Development
Our workforce development solutions bridge the gap between employers’ needs and workers’ competencies. We identify in-demand jobs and emerging industries, then help to design and deliver targeted training programs. This includes collaborating with educational institutions, businesses, and community organizations to create courses, apprenticeships, and certifications. Our goal is to equip individuals with the knowledge and skills they need to secure high-growth careers while strengthening the workforce and regional economies.

Online, Instructor-Led, and Blended Training Solutions
We understand how online learning, communities of practice, gaming, simulation, and exercises work together to provide the highest fidelity learning experiences at the best overall value. As an early leader in the DoD’s Advanced Distributed Learning initiative to modernize training, CTC enhances and standardizes complex workforce training using a system of systems methodology, open architecture standards, and international learning standards–delivering training transparency across an enterprise. CTC delivers training solutions that include computer-based and classroom-based training, instructor-led training, and customized training solutions and the underlying Total Learning Architecture.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) Solutions
CTC leverages AI and ML to make training development more timely and affordable. We use AI to provide learners with personalized performance feedback, reducing the reliance on expensive human resources. Embodied as 2D, 3D, or chat box avatars, we use ML to train AI bots to become helpful subject matter experts within simulation that can consult on learning topics such as materials corrosion or cybersecurity and that can serve as Non-Player Characters (NPCs) in your learning games and simulation. We deploy solutions that utilize the latest LLMs on public web, private cloud, or locally. Additionally, we can expedite and enhance solutions using AI-assisted writing, graphics, videos, and voice acting, significantly lowering development time and costs while maintaining a high standard of quality.

Immersive Environments / Research and Development
We consistently invest in research and development, with a particular focus on innovations specific to simulation and training, designed to replicate the real-world locations, work tools, and processes for our customers who operate in high-stakes, mission-critical environments. Our engineers and technical experts are at the cutting edge of digital solutions, leveraging advancements in AI, ML, cloud computing, extended reality, adaptive learning, and more.
