Summary This study examines the nature of education and training for full-time union staff and officials in Canada and explores some of the factors that affect such provision. It was designed to complement similar studies of other countries and to contribute to more general discussions of labour education. The study compares the opportunities of training for Canadian union staff with similar provision in Britain and the U.S.A. and locates the discussion about further training within the contexts of existing programs of labour education and current debates about the revitalization of the labour movement. The study concludes with a call for more systematic discussion of these issues and analysis of different programmatic models.

This article addresses an issue arising from a comparative study of the nature of education and training for Canadian full-time union staff and officials. The specific question is how can education for union officials address both the social and the servicing demands placed on them? The article locates the discussion about such training within the contexts of existing approaches to labour education and current debates about the revitalization of the labour movement. It concludes with a call for more systematic discussion of these issues and further analysis of different programmatic training models. Cet article porte sur une question découlant d’une étude comparative de la nature de l’éducation et de la formation données aux dirigeants et dirigeantes et membres du personnel à plein temps des syndicats au Canada. La question est celle de savoir comment l’on peut voir à ce que la formation donnée à ces « cadres » syndicaux leur permette de répondre aux exigences sociales et de prestation de services qui leur sont imposées. L’article place cette formation dans le contexte des approches actuelles d’éducation syndicale et du débat au sujet de la revitalisation du mouvement syndical. Il se termine par un appel à un examen plus méthodique de ces questions et à une analyse plus poussée de différents modèles de programmes de formation.

British engineers have claimed that their important contributions to economic and social well-being, based on their achievements as practical people, have gone unrecognized or unrewarded. Yet over the past thirty years efforts to boost the social prestige of British engineers appear to have undermined the social arrangements which fostered the strong practical ethos. Increasing reliance on the full-time educational system is tending to raise social prestige through bringing the ‘all graduate profession’ and through trends to recruitment from higher social backgrounds. Yet these trends have been associated with a fall in traditional and recognizable training. This paper examines both the nature of the ‘practical’ tradition and efforts to raise ‘prestige’ and asks whether the engineering profession is caught on the horns of an irresolvable dilemma—to boost either prestige or practicality. The paper concludes that in principle the British pattern of education and training has much to commend it still, with the strong emphasis on training elements in a working environment. But it is argued that its success will depend on engineers and their employers becoming much more active in the field of training.

This article examines the work context of South Africa’s state-employed adult educators. It is based largely on a recent cross-sectional study of adult educators commissioned by the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET), which draws on the DHET’s database of adult educators and qualitative information gained from visits to adult education and training centres in all nine provinces. The study enquired into adult educators’ working lives, their qualifications, their sense of whether their training was adequate, the issue of further training, their understanding of their work, their conditions of service and the support they believe they need. The study showed that the number of adult educators employed by the DHET is declining steadily and that the working conditions of adult educators are uneven: a few work in fairly well-resourced urban centres, but many work in poor conditions, with little support. Nevertheless, the study indicated that almost all the adult educators view their role in a positive light. Confident of support from one another, they have a definite shared identity as a social group and express a strong commitment to their learners and the communities in which they work. Overall, they constitute a group with strong, yet poorly tapped, potential to contribute to positive community development.

Background The Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic poses a risk of inequality between the number of prepared service staff and patients. Emergency hospitals, that do not have full-time employees due to the voluntary employment system, need to supervise the competence and knowledge of their staff, as they came with diverse backgrounds of knowledge and skill. The National Emergency Hospital Wisma Atlet Kemayoran, which can provide services for nearly 6000 COVID-19 patients, is required to be able to provide education and training continuously to improve the knowledge of its volunteers aiming to improve the quality of the care services. Methodology The present study is descriptive observational research to explore the challenge of education and training in the COVID-19 National Emergency Hospital Wisma Atlet Kemayoran in Jakarta. Results The COVID-19 health workers need to be equipped with sufficient knowledge about personal protective equipment (PPE), COVID-19 management, triage, admission, emergency and critical care for the COVID-19 patients. Supervision is needed to ensure that volunteers with various knowledge and skill backgrounds can collaboratively provide good services for the COVID-19 patients at all fronts. With frequent personnel changes, education and training on the same topic are always given repeatedly. To overcome this inefficiency, the Education and Training Department can film every practical skill related to health care service, and then create tutorial videos followed by small groups onsite skill station, when necessary. The hospital received enormous support from the governmental and non- governmental organizations to conduct education and training sessions on regular basis. Conclusions Education and training are very critical in the Emergency COVID-19 Hospital. The process has become a major challenge due to regular changes of staff. Information and communication technologies remain a more recommended alternative to the traditional onsite face-to-face method of education and training delivery as to prevent the spread of this virus. The training and education program in the National COVID-19 Emergency Hospital Wisma Atlet have received major supports from several Government agencies, and national private/non-government organizations. However, supports from International NGOs, international aid agencies, or humanitarian organizations, apart from the local professional organizations, which generally extend generous support need also to be explored.

AbstractUntil 2003, Japanese lawyers were prohibited by law from entering full-time employment in governmental bodies. That year, in line with recommendations by the Justice System Reform Council, the Lawyers Act was amended to permit lawyers to undertake such employment. Incorporating information and insights from interviews with former government lawyers and other concerned parties, this article examines the rise in the hiring of government lawyers and its impact. The article considers factors that have contributed to the increase, examines the roles played by these lawyers, considers prospects for the future, and discusses implications for government, the legal profession, clients, and legal education and training. The article also seeks to identify a range of issues raised by these developments that warrant further in-depth research.

Community workers are the mainstay of community governance, and the key to building a team of community workers lies in the formulation and improvement of policies related to community and team construction. At present, community workers are facing a "ceiling" for career development, which will not only affect the stability of the community workforce, but also the effectiveness of community governance. In this regard, Chengdu Municipality issued the Chengdu Community Full-time Workers Management Method in 2018. Based on the analysis of the policies on the construction of community workers in Chengdu, the author will propose possible problems in the relevant policies in terms of remuneration, education and training, career promotion and assessment and evaluation, and put forward a few thoughts on improving the policies to further ensure that community workers have more room for career development and promote the effectiveness of community governance. This will further ensure that community workers have more room for career development and promote the construction and development of the community workforce.

Modern European systems of education and training in the field of healthcare are designed to train competent professionals able to provide high quality healthcare to society, and also motivated to continue improving their education and training. The job of the registered nurse requires high professionalism and participation in continuous post-graduate training and courses so that nurses can maintain a high level of competence. The mentor of future nurses has to be able to identify the different levels of acquired knowledge, skills and competences in trainees. Aim: The aim of this study is to establish the pedagogical competence of mentors and their readiness and preparation to participate in the process of training and education during the pre-graduation traineeship of the future registered nurse. Methods and subjects: In order to research the opinion of mentors of their own pedagogical competence and skills to participate in the training process during pre-graduation traineeship of the trainee-nurses assigned to them, we surveyed mentors at the following university hospitals – ‘St. George’ University Hospital, Plovdiv, MPHAL AD Haskovo, ‘Dr. At. Dafovski’ MPHAT Kardzhali, University Hospital – Stara Zagora. Findings and discussion: The questionnaire included questions to the mentors for the purpose of establishing their opinion of the required pedagogical competences and the need of further training of the mentors, and, if such need is established, the topics that should be covered. Further training of mentors shall facilitate a better quality training process during pre-graduation traineeships. By mastering pedagogical and methodological skills for working with trainees, mentors will be able to participate more fully and productively in the practical training of the students. Conclusion: The high competence of the mentor comprises skills to communicate efficiently and demonstrate a kind and positive attitude to students and patients, and gain their confidence.

The first telemedicine standard to be developed, documented and adopted widely was the radiology standard, which includes technical and image transmission standards as well as requirements and qualifications needed for teleradiology practice. But many other health professionals engaged either full time or part time in telemedicine and telehealth—for example, telepsychiatry, telepathology, teletriage and tele-ophthalmology — also need and use special skills and knowledge. At present, they acquire these skills on the job and their skills may not be recognized. There should be performance standards and telepractice guidelines for professionals operating in the fields of telemedicine and telehealth. Furthermore, there is a case for the development and implementation of education and training standards, enabling professionals who practise in the field to obtain suitable skills, knowledge and recognition for telepractice.
