Produktbeschreibung
Skills are a major contribution to a company s
success. We all know that we need more, better and
newer skills in the workplace, but so much training,
however well intended lacks any impact on the
business. If the learning has not been sustained by
being embedded in the business, the investment in
training can be wasted. This book reviews training
activity among manufacturers within the automotive
supply chain, particularly from the perspective of
the smaller companies and the trainees themselves. A
model is developed that focuses attention on the
value of the learning. Criteria are identified to
support the model as a Framework for Sustainable
Learning. The companies most likely to meet these
quantifiable criteria will be the competitive and
innovative companies that operate as learning
organisations. It is argued that training targeted
on these companies will be cost effective to
implement, provide measurable performance benefits
and deliver sustainable learning. This Framework
should be especially useful to company managers or
advisers in skills brokerage who are seeking to
optimise the investment in skills development.
