Episode 278 - Growing An AI-Led Workforce Training Platform - with Luis Garciam from PETE

Today’s workforce has grown up with digital education - they expect modern, relevant training to help them succeed, not as a perk, but as a given. Data shows that companies with strong learning programs see higher employee satisfaction, better retention, and improved customer outcomes. However, for companies with 50 to 500 employees, especially those growing fast or expanding product lines, building a full-scale L&D department isn’t always feasible. The challenge of providing effective training is real - and ignoring it is no longer an option. I talked with Luis Garcia, President and Co-Founder of PETE, about how personalized, scalable training solutions - covering everything from onboarding to compliance and technical upskilling - are not just helpful, but essential for long-term success. PETE Learning is an Orlando-based HR tech startup helping businesses streamline and optimize their learning initiatives, through its AI-led training platform. In a wide-ranging discussion, Luis and I talked about: ✅ The limitations of traditional training methods — and how AI is changing the game. ✅ How PETE’s AI algorithms deliver dynamic, scalable learning experiences. ✅ Why effective onboarding and continuous development are key to employee retention. ✅ Growth strategies through digital marketing and sales. ✅ The role of strategic acquisitions in expanding PETE’s offerings and strengthening its platform. ✅ How PETE leverages local networks and digital channels to scale its reach. ✅ And much more!
