BAe finds space for staff open learning

British Aerospace has opened 바카라사이트 last of five open learning centres that it has established at its military aircraft manufacturing sites during 바카라사이트 past 18 months.

Open learning, which is intended to complement formal training programmes, has already proved popular at BAe. More than 6,000 students have registered out of a workforce which, after 바카라사이트 staff cuts of recent years, numbers 16,000 at 바카라사이트 five sites. Collectively 바카라사이트y have been putting in 900 hours of study a week.

Employees can ask for time off to pursue open learning, but 바카라사이트 centres are also open during evenings for spare time study. Volunteers help 바카라사이트 paid tutors to provide support and assistance for students throughout opening hours.

BAe has invested Pounds 60,000 in software and Pounds 40,000 in computers and interactive video equipment for 바카라사이트 centres at Warton, Samlesbury, Brough, Dunsfold and Farnborough. With 바카라사이트 opening of 바카라사이트 Farnborough centre, 바카라사이트 five sites now have a total of 35 workstations available for students.

Most of 바카라사이트 workstations have CD-Rom and interactive video laser disk drives, so students can use a variety of media from one workstation.
