Continuing education issues
Structure Magazine
Although continuing education is known by a number of different acronyms, — CEU (Continuing Education Unit), PDH (Professional Development Hour), CPC (Continuing Professional Competency), CPD (Continuing Professional Development), and CE (Continuing Education) – the purpose of requiring licensed professionals to obtain it is the same: to assure an engineer's ongoing competency in order to safeguard the life, health, property and welfare of the public.

Formal training alone won't work for everyone
Kirkpatrick Partners
Jim and Wendy watched in fascination the day the baby birds in the nest outside their front door seemed to be preparing to fly. They stood on the edge of the nest, stretched out their wings and flapped them a few times. Some hopped onto a nearby landing. As Jim and Wendy worked, they noticed a flock of birds swirling outside their office windows.

How MOOCs will revolutionize corporate learning and development
Forbes
Before Intel giant McAfee revamped its new-hire orientation, it was over 80 hours long and consisted of roughly 40 hours of pre-work, 5 days of on-site training, and a "robust" syllabus of post-work, meant to be completed at home. But as McAfee’s Senior Director of learning Lori Aberle says, "Once they leave the instructor-led class, that's it, they're done. Let's face it, you will never get them back again!" In addition, the on site training was paced either too fast for some or too slow for others — as classroom lessons by necessity are. The associates teaching them were sometimes torn away at the last minute to close big sales — their primary job, after all. Plus, the system didn't prioritize associates who were inclined toward teaching in the first place.

Bizcommunity.com
Labor costs are one of the biggest business expenses, so it makes sense to ensure your workers are as productive as they can be. Here are some steps you can take to achieve that. Inefficiency is a common problem in the corporate workplace, with statistics showing that the average worker wastes 3 hours out of each 8-hour working day — and that's not including breaks and lunches.
