HOMELAND SECURITY SOLUTIONS INC.

Homeland Security Solutions has provided civil law enforcement training for the U.S. Marine Corps for the past decade. In recent years, however, the Marine Corps has struggled to keep instructional content fresh, updated and readily accessible to face changing threats. Homeland Security Solutions approached this challenge with blended technology, combining e-learning, Web-based training and distance learning. The blended learning modules incorporate platforms such as Microsoft Office as well as more innovative tools such as Skype, Go2Meeting and SharePoint. The Web-based training alone will reach 300,000 employees annually and save the Marine Corps more than $700,000 each year.
