Training in procurement
This part of the procurement section is for the people in a public body who are responsible for training: the project manager who puts it in the plan, the procurement officer who buys it, and the training coordinator who keeps it going after go-live. It builds on the trainer courses of this help (Course catalogue, Trainers: start here), which are free documentation and can be used by your own staff or by a supplier.
The pages
| Page | It answers |
|---|---|
| A training plan for a public body | Which groups need which course, at which moment of the project, and who delivers it |
| Roles to courses | For each job role, the courses and modules that are a must, a should or optional |
| Onboarding new staff | The first weeks of a new editor or administrator, from account to sign-off |
| Budgeting training effort | A worksheet built on the published course lengths and your own rates |
| Buying training from a partner | What to ask a supplier for, how to compare offers, rights in the material |
| Building an in-house training team | Train your own trainers, build the lab, keep the material current |
