Training

  1. These days, in the course of a person’s career, they may need to take training. People may take training in order to start a new job, to pursue a different career, to upgrade their skills to move up in their job or to learn a new system or way of doing things to retain their current job. What about training? Have any of you taken any kind of training courses for your work in the past year? What kind of training was this?

  2. Are you interested in taking any training? Why/why not?

  3. Would you be interested in taking training to help you become more skilled at using personal computers or the Internet? Does your employer offer this type of training or encourage it?

  4. What about training on other subjects related to your occupation. Does your employer offer any training opportunities? And are any training courses available through correspondence or distance education? Do any of these include computer-based training on a CD or training that can be completed in part or entirely over the Internet? Would you be interested in taking training that you could complete in part or entirely over the Internet?
