Millennials are now not only the largest generation in the workforce, but the workforce leadership of the future.<br \/>\nCoates says you don\u2019t have to change your avocational and leisure courses, or do anything different.\u00a0 You just want to market your classes to business.\u00a0 \u201cAn added marketing strategy would be to offer the company a group discount. Group discounts are win-win for them and for your program,\u201d she notes. \u00a0Group discounts generate even more profitability for your program than individual registrations.<br \/>\nFor information on how to structure a Business Group Discount for your avocational and leisure courses, just email <a href=\"mailto: info@lern.org\">info@lern.org\u00a0 <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With 1-of-4 employee absences due to mental stress, begin marketing your avocational and leisure courses to business now, says Julie Coates, LERN Senior Vice President.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":15048,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18216","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lern.com\/lern\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18216","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lern.com\/lern\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lern.com\/lern\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lern.com\/lern\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lern.com\/lern\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18216"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lern.com\/lern\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18216\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18790,"href":"https:\/\/lern.com\/lern\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18216\/revisions\/18790"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lern.com\/lern\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lern.com\/lern\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18216"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lern.com\/lern\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18216"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lern.com\/lern\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18216"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
