(1) Gaps in professional development and learning that the CILT can fill (2) Recognising how people learn (3) Focus for the future
• •
Speed Session 1 Gaps in professional development and learning that the CILT can fill
• Which industry sectors need more training, education and CPD in your country?
• How can CILT fill the gap?
• Which industry sectors need more training, education and CPD in your country?
• Public/passenger transport planning and policy• Logistics and supply chain management including business strategy, project
management and technology awareness • Logistics safety• Use of ICT within the supply chain• Masters level programmes after the Advanced Diploma is finished• Innovation in transport development• Engage government depts and regulatory bodies so that CILT qualifications can be
properly recognised and policy can be influenced (e.g. passenger safety)• Showcase best practice from other countries to help accelerate growth locally
• Which industry sectors need more training, education and CPD in your country?
• Lean IT to achieve transport efficiencies• Human Resources Management - diverse workers• Automotive and manufacturing industries• Fleet managers and drivers• Clearing and freight forwarding• Costing and profitability• Ports and Marine including port safety and security • Project logistics (mining, ports, road, port infrastructure) and pipeline transport
• Which industry sectors need more training, education and CPD in your country?
• Military logistics• Aerospace/aviation logistics and safety/security• Retail logistics• Cold chain logistics • Food (halal) logistics and general halal awareness• Investment decision making for CEOs and senior management • Trade facilitation and regulation • Supply chain optimisation• Customer service focus for passenger transport • Road haulage
• How can CILT fill the gap?
• Training, education and CPD offerings provided in a balanced manner• Module list for all courses under CILT control put into an integrated database• Need to produce short courses that can be customised locally • Ability feed school/college age students into CILT qualifications system • CILT membership extended to professionals studying non-accredited courses • Stronger quality audit controls by CILT for membership and qualifying exams• Regular curriculum reviews for counties experiencing issues on quality,
employability and industry recognition • Linkages with universities for short courses, advanced courses and Masters• Establish one stop shop on line
Speed Session 2 Recognising how people learn
• What methods of learning and training are most successful in your own country?
• How should CILT respond to the demand for online and ‘e’ methods of learning – whilst keeping our high standards?
• What methods of learning and training are most successful in your own country?
• Interactive workshops• Certification instead of CPD• Depends on recognition of formal qualifications ands standards • Book/resource-sharing• Courses that lead to degrees• Direct classroom contact and learning (but can constrain growth)• Face to face learning• Distance learning • On line learning
• What methods of learning and training are most successful in your own country?
• Module based distance learning• Online distance learning• Lectures supported by personal tutor/guided learning• Group learning supported by technical visits• Structured suite of courses linked to CPD points/award system
• How should CILT respond to the demand for online and ‘e’ methods of learning – whilst keeping our high standards?
• Consistent, workable platform for e-learning to be used by Branches to suite their own country’s content requirements
• Use e’-learning approach as an introductory tool to more advanced study e.g. 4 hrs online study admit the student to further studies
• Reducing tuition fees • Facilitate Branches to execute some of the training activities• Blend products from multiple course delivery to meet market demands• Assessment and practical skills should not be put online and kept separate to
preserve standards• Use online tools to secure additional student uptake and capture market -
considerable demand
• How should CILT respond to the demand for online and ‘e’ methods of learning – whilst keeping our high standards?
• Shared platform for e-learning to reduce overhead costs and achieve economies of scale
• Assessment testing off line so auditable and independent – due to variable regulation quality
• Training the Trainers courses and awareness programme • Weekend programmes• Establish Learning Resource Centres equipped with IT/books etc • No culture in Africa for pure online learning• Sector specific product development and training • Pilot e-learning in countries where there is strong administration system and
quality control
Speed Session 3 Focus for the future
• Where should CILT International put their focus over the next 12-18 months?
• Which education tools do you think are needed most to support this?
• Where should CILT International put their focus over the next 12-18 months?
• Collaboration on education platforms and products – global consistency• Global inventory of courses and materials• Clear business rules to enable growth with commercial partners• Speed up certification services• Speed up accreditation processes to maximise student intake• Standard syllabus and harmonized content• Expansion of training for passenger/public transport operators• Common platform for job vacancies/consultancy and skills sharing/skills
brokerage• Adopt CPD systems that countries can adapt for their own use (e.g. Australia, UK)• Advanced Diploma and ‘bridge’ to Masters level qualifications
• Which education tools do you think are needed most to support this?
• On line learning and online apps• On line discussion board/forums• Support to countries developing their own ‘grass roots’ products• Mobile and tablet friendly resources • Module download from CILT website through portal• Database for sharing resources and material through the web • Research grants to stimulate involvement of YP and WILAT members• Electronic membership directory (subject to data protection rules)• Introductory level units and courses (e.g. warehousing, commercial drivers)• Materials for Branches including resources to set up libraries (also video cameras,
projectors and equipment grants) • Actively eek and publish (independent) student feedback on course completion • Podcasting of lectures, seminars etc
