Overview
The Trainers Network
brings together trainers and learning facilitators from all sectors,
public and private, specialist and mainstream, to share learning and
experiences in relation to best practice, recent innovations, quality
standards and continuing professional development.
The Trainers Network
was initiated by FÁS with EU ADAPT funding in order to develop
the profession of training in Ireland. A Consortium incorporating many
of the organisations involved in the training of trainers provides direction
and resources to the network.
Achievements
Resources developed
by the Trainers Network include:
- Web site and
virtual learning resource to provide access to information and for
communication
- Local networking
groups to seek and share information
- Action Learning
training and Video
- Regional Seminars
for learning and researching issues
- Annual Conferences
for national networking and learning fora
- Links with other
training networks across Europe
- Consortium of
train the trainer organisations
Going forward the
Trainers Network will be a significant resource available to all facilitators
of learning and feed into mainstream policy and structures. A key strength
is its capacity to access on the ground response from network members
and Consortium organisations.
The results of the
network will support Ireland to operate the best international standards
for training and effectively respond to the ever-changing needs of the
workforce. It is part of the agenda to instil a lifelong learning culture
within the training and education profession that will extend to building
a learning philosophy nationally.
