Area of Science:

Workplace learning and development
Human resource management
Vocational education and training

Background:

Traditional, lengthy off-site training programs face managerial resistance.
The need for flexible and effective staff development strategies is increasing.
Existing systems like National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) have implementation challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore the shift towards on-the-job training methods.
To analyze the growth and impact of open learning in staff development.
To investigate innovative training approaches, such as IT-based learning, as alternatives to traditional methods.

Main Methods:

Review of current trends in staff development.
Case study analysis of open learning adoption.
Examination of challenges and successes in vocational qualification delivery.
Exploration of IT-driven training solutions in a specific regional context (Cornwall).

Main Results:

Open learning has emerged as the primary growth area in staff development.
National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) are not yet fully realizing their intended potential.
Innovative IT training models are proving more effective than traditional 'sitting beside Nellie' methods, as demonstrated by Cornwall providers.

Conclusions:

On-the-job training, particularly open learning and IT-based solutions, offers a more managerially accepted and potentially effective approach to staff development.
Further development and refinement of vocational qualification frameworks are needed.
Adoption of modern, technology-enabled training strategies is crucial for effective workforce development.
