Helping local government meet reduced budget targets
There's no question that 2010 is set to be a challenging year across the whole of the public sector and for local government there has been much publicity about the impact of intended budget cuts. Here at Brightwave, we understand how vital it is for local government to reduce training costs. The challenge is achieving this whilst maintaining a commitment to modern workforce development and excellent front line service delivery.E-learning has a fundamental role to play. From simply replacing a few mandatory courses with e-learning, to implementing a shared e-learning service, you can make immediate savings whilest actually improving the effectiveness of your training delivery and increasing employee engagement.We have been working with a number of local authorities to do just that.
