Public sector ‘to increase e-learning take-up’
Online-based training is to be increasingly taken up in the workplace, including those operating in the public sector, a new study shows.
Also know e-learning, figures by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) reveal that about a third of trainers think that between 25 and 50 per cent of all training is to be delivered remotely by 2011.
However, take-up levels of such training were shown to be low.
Martyn Sloman, learning and development adviser for the CIPD, claimed: "We still have a long way to go to embed [e-learning] effectively in the organisation.
"It’s clear from our survey that it is still not fully appreciated by learners or by training managers."
The study also showed that those working in the public sector are particularly set to use e-learning.
Some 82 per cent of such organisations will adopt this training method, compared to 49 per cent of those in the private sector.
Following on from adopting e-learning, it may be possible that organisations are able to improve the skills framework of their staff.
Earlier this month, it was revealed that Bury metropolitan council had made use of JGP’s Skills Portal Solution to help improve the way in which it measures the skills of its members of staff.
