Can anyone point me to data on the average cost to send an employee out for softskills training, either by the hour or by the course? I understand this can vary by provider, location, training topic, etc. but I am just looking for an industry average per hour, day, course . . . I didn't see this addressed in ASTD's 2005 State of the Industry Report.

David;
