German term or phrase: bieten
Hello again,

This here invitation to apply for permanent positions (it is a collection of various job advertisements) uses the turn of phrase "Unser Unternehmen bietet/Wir bieten Bewerbern/Wir bieten Schulungen an ..." easily 30 times.

Any suitable ideas how to rephrase this in American English, for variation and appropriate style?

Provides, organizes, etc. ..?

Best regards,

boast
Explanation:
...works in some scenarios such as "we boast training programs for instructors", but obviously you cannot assume that there's a single verb that is as versatile as "bieten" in German.
