I
am totally convinced that a big market is available
in Egypt
& Middle East for a comprehensive professional ( 24 x 7 ) training
programs online for small, medium and big Companies. Also for a lot of
Disciplined and Organized individuals who wants to acquire new knowledge and
skills.
To address this question up front and succinctly, I believe that training is on the eve of a revolution and that five forces will drive it.
-
First, economy everywhere has shifted from an industrial to an information base. This means the population will require more education to function in the new economy and education must continue throughout life as the "half-life" of knowledge gets shorter and shorter.
-
Second, the demographics of higher education have changed. The new majority of college students are older, part-time, and working. Higher education is not the most pressing concern in their lives. It is often overshadowed by jobs, spouses or partners, families, and friends. These students want higher education that is convenient, is efficient in providing service, offers quality instruction, and is low in price. They are prime candidates for stripped-down versions of college without electives and student services. They are excellent prospects for distance learning, available in their homes or offices.
-
Third, new technologies are likely to have a profound influence on higher education. They are the largest megaphone in postsecondary history allowing colleges and universities to reach larger numbers than ever before in history, at any time and any place. Moreover, technological capabilities are encouraging the rise of global universities, which transcend national boundaries. The most successful institutions will be those that can respond the quickest and offer a high-quality education to an international student body.
-
Fourth, the private sector is investing in higher education at a greater rate than ever before.
-
Fifth and finally, there is a growing convergence between knowledge-producing organizations––publishers, television, libraries, museums, concert halls, and universities. All are using new technologies to distribute their content to reach larger and larger audiences. The result is that all are producing things that look increasingly like courses.
With
correct outsourcing and alliances for products, a 24x7 program can aim to have
brilliant and best in class courses.
Training
is becoming more individualized; employees and companies, not institutions, will
set the educational agenda. Increasingly, employees will come from diverse
backgrounds and will have a widening variety of training needs. New technologies
will enable them to receive their education at any time and any place– at their
companies, in the office, at home, in the car, or on vacation. Each employee
will be able to choose from a multitude of knowledge providers the form of
instruction and courses most consistent with how he or she learns.
Technological innovations, new product markets, and a diverse
workforce have increased the need for companies to reexamine how their training
practices contribute to learning.
A systematic approach to training,
is required, including needs assessment,
design of the learning environment, consideration of employee readiness for
training, and transfer-of-training issues.
Training methods and the key to successful training is to
choose a method that would best accomplish the objectives of training.
Many companies
in the world have adopted this broader perspective, which is
known as high-leverage training.
High-leverage training practices also help to create working
conditions that encourage continuous learning.
To facilitate the sharing of knowledge, managers may use
informational maps that show where knowledge lies within the company (for example,
directories that list what a person does as well as the specialized knowledge he
or she
possesses) and use technology such as groupware or the Internet that allows employees in
various business units to work simultaneously on problems and share information.
Plan, implement
and monitor impact of an appropriate career development programme, with due focus on selection of deserving participants,
development needs analysis and post-programme monitoring.
Performance Management. Develop, implement and maintain a performance measurement and management
process including definition of key performance indicators and an
appropriate performance appraisal system.

After
the
needs assessment of each company targeted, planning the design of the learning
environment, consideration of employee readiness for training, and
transfer-of-training issues.
A
plan to be developed for the courses required to this company, under the
guidance from the responsible managers and approval of the company.
The aim will be, a high performance business, which set strategies to satisfy
key stakeholders... by improving critical business processes... and aligning
resources and organization.
This
plan will take two years for full implementation. But content can begin to be
used by employees within the first two months.
Hoping
that this proposal for effective 24x7 educational programs will be
accepted.
Thanks & Best Regards
