Preparing a Training Plan for an Archaeological Organisation
While individuals need to plan for their own CPD, organisations too need to have plans. This presentation explores how to combine individual objectives with organisational needs. It examines the process of reviewing what skills an organisation needs to fulfil its aims, how to identify what skills the organisation’s staff already have, and from this to then recognise what skills the organisation wants its staff to obtain or improve and how to get there.
