Training personnel undergoing structural change - a driving force or barrier?
Friedrich Hubert Esser, Prof. Dr., President of the Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training
In these times of digitalisation, training is undergoing profound change. Above all else, it is training personnel who are determining the quality and speed of this change. New media is supporting the work of trainers more effectively than ever before, and across its entire breadth and depth - from the organisation of training via the design of teaching and learning processes through to the completion of training. This begins with contacting those interested in training via social networks and extends from the organisation of learning in different locations and at different times through to new forms of individual learning, guidance and support.
