- comments:
- The target users are the trainees but also the companies where they are employed will benefit from higher quality in outputs and a higher attendance among trainees.
- challenges:
- During the pandemic on-line training was given priority as this was the only option, but some training providers also see this as a very cheap way to conduct training, but a lesson learned is that the quality in many cases suffer from the lack of physical presence. It is also reported that the on-line training might exclude some of the most vulnerable groups as they cannot afford the needed hard- and software required for the training.
- success:
- The on-line training is cheap for the training providers and can help to a larger geographical reach out.
- context:
- It appears that also the subject of the training has an impact on the success rate as there are subjects with a more “natural” on-line link ex. training in e-commerce. Other subjects as interpersonal communication and teamwork will benefit from training with physical presence.
- description:
- Due to the COVID-19 pandemic all training activities were transferred to on-line training. Training materials were redesigned to fit to the new training approach. For short trainings that span for a few hours, this can be effective. But for most training activities, the physical face-to-face training is preferred. A relatively high level of drop-out from the training was reported. One training provider reported that in training with physical presence the success rate was 50 out of hundred, whereas when on-line training was used the success rate was down to 20.
- administrative_issues:
- The ILO should use the on-line training as much as possible but also be critical towards its limitation
