ABSTRACT

Corporate learning centres place much of the responsibility for self-development on the learners. The corporate learning centre co-ordinator should use every opportunity to help and support this process. People may reproduce the material to supply to employees. Alternatively, they may develop their own 'user guide' by drawing on the material. Corporate learning centre courses offer only one way to meet their identified training needs. Other ways include on-the-job and off-the-job training. On-the-job training might include job rotation, project work, negotiations, committee work and making presentations to other employees. They can, of course, use the facilities of the corporate learning centre to brush up on these areas as necessary. Off-the-job training might include doing formal professional or certificate, diploma, degree or postgraduate courses. Some colleges are offering these as Internet-based e-learning programmes. Many of the courses in the corporate learning centre can prove of benefit to their formal studies.
