Abstract
You may be new to a Web-role or you may be more experienced, with a set of useful skills. Either way, increasingly there is a need for recognised individual development and accreditation in order to progress in within your organisation and with your own career.
Alternatively you may be dealing daily with others who do not appear to have the skills they claim! This could be slowing down or reducing the overall quality of the service you are employed to provide. The process may be in place but if the staff required to keep it moving cannot demonstrate the required skill, who ends up doing all the work?. Would it benefit you to have accredited content providers to call apon?
This session will discuss the issues surrounding the topic of training and accreditation for all providers and developers of Web content and systems. It will provide an opportunity to appraise current programmes and inform the development of a set of recognised qualifications, designed to meet the needs of our community.
- Is accreditation important?
- Who benefits?
- Who recognises it?
- What is currently available to people like you?
- How, when and where is it delivered?
- What key skills are required and by whom?
- What might happen in the future?
There will also be the opportunity to contribute development of a set of recognised qualifications, designed to meet the needs of the community.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of the session participants will have gained:
- an awareness of a range of professional development programmes available to them and the others they may be working with
