Kimberly Archuleta, CEO of the Bonds
Learning Solutions, welcome on
the business period.
Thank you Ryan, I appreciate it. Very happy
to be here. It's great to
have you Kimberly advance.
Learning Solutions is a
developer of online training,
e-learning for businesses around the world.
The e-learning market is projected to be
worth 325 billion around the world by 2025.
Here in EU S the e-learning market is
expected to grow by 12.8 million billion.
I'm sorry by 2024.
Tell us more about your business
and how you're building it in this.
Booming market?
Well, thank you again Ryan.
Yes, advanced Learning Solutions is
celebrating our 7th anniversary this month,
7 year anniversary and this is
just really a fun time in the
learning and development space.
Our industry, as you mentioned is growing
and I really online training is more fun,
intuitive and engaging.
So yes, we work with an array of
clients building out not just courses,
but universities for their workforce.
And really each and every client
has their own particular needs so.
We really go through a method to
provide custom tailored project
management which evaluates their
culture and helps increase engagement
and develop the skills they need today
and tomorrow through online training.
You know things like mobile e-learning are
expanding rapidly with the ever growing
group of mobile users around the world.
I hear that augmented and virtual reality.
E-learning is also gaining interest.
What other changes are happening
with e-learning and why is it
becoming more and more popular? Yes,
great question. There are so many changes
in the E learning space and really it's
important because every company has
to adapt to the new tools out there.
So advance has designed and developed 3D
simulated courses for medical universities.
Augmented reality for real estate and
just really if you think about it,
the more creative our clients are,
the more that their customers or their
learners or their employees really engage.
And retain that knowledge.
They really have fun.
They apply it,
and that's super important to
retaining the knowledge.
So a very important aspect to
retaining knowledge is applying it
right away and augmented reality and
virtual reality and simulations help
that learner apply the knowledge by
doing the task within the course.
So if you have,
say for example a scenario you can do
a scenario based microlearning force
and that's just really a good way to
enhance engagement with the student.
We also have a learning platform
which houses our clients,
courses and the platform,
provides knowledge, check questions,
question and the platform provides knowledge,
check questions,
quizzes and game vacation,
which in all essence makes it so much
more fun to be a part of an online course.
Yeah, I feel like you know with with
you know the age we're in the age of
increasing remote work and virtual meetings.
You know that this is going to
soar even more because one,
I think so many of us already take
advantage of e-learning opportunities
to advance our professional development
or to learn about some topic.
We're curious.
And but now that COVID and the pandemic
has changed the world as we know it,
I feel like E learning is going
to be even more popular.
So I feel like these numbers that
I've been spouting off about.
The growth of this market now it's booming.
I think it's going to get even
bigger Kimberly and and because of
that you may be in for quite the
ride in the months and years ahead.
Now Kimberly.
It's Hispanic Heritage month and you
bring your own Hispanic heritage.
Having been raised in north Denver,
you're an entrepreneur and
business owner of course.
Can you share a bit more about your
own journey and what motivates you
and where you still hope to go?
Yes and yes. I am a Denver native.
I grew up in north Denver
which is called the Highlands.
I have a very large Spanish family
here in Denver and my late Aunt
Ellen Torres actually won the nine.
Who cares award many years ago because she
started a food bank over 40 years ago in
north Denver and it's called the Yemeni.
This food bank which means welcome
and that's really just what they do.
They provide food boxes to the
less fortunate or people in need.
And really.
I have been doing this and working
with the Food Bank since I was
five years old packing boxes and
helping with the food pantry.
So it's just really wonderful to be
a part of my community and give back,
but I also feel that making you know
an impact on our Denver community
is not only just serving people
but also striving to do my best
as a Hispanic female leader.
I now own three companies and I am on a
handful of nonprofit force and really
just paving the way for people like me.
So I really feel that what I can
do is give back by giving jobs to
people in need up in the Community
and and really helping them be
successful in their own right.
Well, I tell you it's been great
to have you on the business brief.
As a Hispanic woman entrepreneur
during Hispanic Heritage Month,
we take a great bit of pride in
being able to highlight the great
work of so many in our community and
what you're doing in the business
and in the community is so important
to the success of our society
and the growth of our economy.
Kimberly Archuleta,
we want to wish you and the team advanced
Learning solutions the very best,
especially as this tremendously
booming e-learning training
market continues to grow.
All the success to you and the team
as you go forward and thank you for
joining us on the business brief.

Ryan. It was an honor. Thank you so much.
