Purpose and benefits

Individuals cannot rely on their employers to provide life-long employment or a full learning agenda keyed to career opportunities. You must take responsibility for designing your personal learning agenda and finding the learning resources you need to achieve that agenda.
Within and outside of your company, there is an ever-increasing array of learning opportunities, ranging from traditional training programmes and college courses to less formal learning methods.
To get ahead you must understand your company’s and your own personal goals and design a learning agenda that contributes to the company’s goals while satisfying your own learning and achievement objectives.
