In South Africa, Adult and Community Education and Training (ACET) is established to cater for the educationally disadvantaged individuals, especially rural women, hence, ACET programmes are running in the country nationally. One of the aims of ACET is to open economic opportunities for women; however, the majority of rural women are still performing poorly economically. This empirical study aimed to explore the effect of ACET on the economic development of women in the Lusikisiki district of South Africa. A qualitative approach in the form of a case study design was used for the study to help the researcher relate to the real life circumstances of the women. Purposive sampling was used to select 35 participants from a population of 115. The participants were selected because they had wealth of information and could explain better the phenomenon under study. Data collection instruments used were face to face individual interviews which were audio recorded with the consent of participants. The major findings of the investigation include the following: inadequate learning resources available to women; inadequate skills development programmes provided and skeptical perception of the economic benefit of ACET to women. The study suggested that the programmes of ACET should be restructured and skills driven to meet the needs of women, especially in rural communities.

The overall economic, social and environmental health of rural communities is one of the critical issues facing Australia. Without access to basic services, a small community can be left with a standard of living more like that of a third world country. Increasingly, services have an electronic component. Convergent digital services can lead to transformative effects, but can also exacerbate existing divides if technologies and the capacity to use them effectively are not available. Teleservice centres have in the past provided many forms of electronic services and training: computing, fax, printers, banking, etc. Today Internet functionality is a central aspect of rural teleservice centres, with broadband a looming issue. This article presents teleservice centres as a strategic national resource. Their potential to contribute to rural sustainability and equitable access to government services means that at every level of community and government, teleservice centres can delivery triple bottom line benefits.

And Training

In most sales organizations, salesforce performance evaluation has mostly relied on reflective metrics such as sales volume, revenue, and manager’s evaluations of salesforce, and hence they have limited insight into how a salesperson will do going forward and what types of training and incentives will be most effective. Sales organizations should emphasize sustaining and improving their salesforce performance by proactively reallocating investment in incentives and training resources. The main question is what type of incentives and training will bring out the best in a high performer or help a promising sales employee improve? Salesperson’s intrinsic value measurement and analysis provides directions for finding an answer. With this approach, sales organizations can then make strategic decisions about rewards and training optimization. These findings will help organizations reallocate their expenditure levels (i.e., training and incentive investments) to maximize salesperson’s intrinsic value, enhance salesperson’s future performance and ultimately boost revenue and profitability.

Teaching and training users how to operate laboratory equipment is a time-intensive practice. Many new users are students, who have generally high turnover rates; after they complete a class project or degree program, they leave the facility, In addition, users often divide their time among a variety of techniques and equipment. With episodic usage, researchers tend to forget details of instrument operation and need to be retrained. Academic core facilities must balance their productivity against the time it takes to train and retrain an ever-changing parade of users. Site-specific multimedia teaching and training resources, such as films, CDs, videos, or DVDs, if easily available in the laboratory, would enable users to refresh and retrain themselves on equipment operation.

Child health programmes should be based on sound evidence of effectiveness. This chapter summarizes the reasons why an updated review of the evidence is needed in a new edition of Health for all Children, defines the scope of the fifth edition, and explains how the quality and strength of the evidence supporting practice and commissioning have been assessed. The framework for making the evidence-based recommendations for practitioners, managers, and commissioners provided at the end of each chapter is explained. An overview is provided of the book, divided into sections and chapters, with links to online evidence and training resources. The chapter concludes with some overall recommendations applicable to the child health programmes in different countries in the UK.
