“Successful careers are not the products of luck or planning; they are built by people who are able to seize those opportunities that match their own strengths.”
Peter Drucker
Did you know that during a recession more people engage in training and education in order to up-skill and future-proof their careers? This way they will be ready to meet the new challenges and avail of the new opportunities that come with the change in the economy.
It is largely recognised in the modern world of work that continuing education is necessary to meet the ongoing needs of individual professionals in a changing work environment, and ensure that individuals are up to date in their knowledge and skills in order to continually provide a high quality service. This principle of continuing education is enshrined in the Health & Social Care Professionals Act (2005) and the HIQA Standards on Residential Care (2009).
The Open Training College recently completed a survey, which indicated to us a strong commitment to and enthusiasm for Continuing Professional Development (CPD), but with a recognition that flexible opportunities will be necessary for individuals to avail of such learning. With this in mind the College is proud to announce the launch of our CPD courses, which will be built upon and developed over the next three years.
