DCLG extends commitment to Trainer1
The Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG) is extending
its contract with Trainer1, one of the UK's leading learning
consultancies. Under the contract, Trainer1 will continue to host the
DCLG's 'Learning Resources Directory' (LRD).
Essentially, the LRD is a portal to learning materials that are not
presented formally, via a classroom or even an e-learning course. It is
both a directory of learning resources and a library containing
information, checklists and other tools that show learners how to do
what they need to do in their jobs.
The LRD makes use of Trainer1's revolutionary knowledge management
tool, Argonaut, which - among other things - registers the use of each
of the materials in the LRD.
"Thanks to Argonaut, everyone who accesses the LRD is certain to
receive the latest, approved version of the materials s/he requires,"
explained Trainer1's Neil Lasher.
"It is vital that, as new versions of policies, procedures and
protocols automatically supersede old ones, everyone who accesses
these, accesses the most up-to-date, 'approved' version. Argonaut,
Trainer1's '.NET' technology knowledge management tool ensures that
this is so - thus bringing peace of mind to trainers, senior managers
and, of course, learners.
"Moreover, it helps to increase worker efficiency and productivity,
thus providing better value for the taxpayer."
