Retaining for ICT improvements

Many people who found that their job had disappeared because of the introduction of computes have had to retrain.

They might have been kept on to do the same role but using a computer rather than doing things by hand.

Or if their job disappeared completely, they would probably have had to train and learn a whole new set of skills.

Training can be given by the personnel department or by other workers. Or it could be purchased from specialist companies who visit the organisation and train people 'on-site'.

Workers can also go on courses at the local college to learn new skills.

This training has many faults. While people are learning new skills they are not working to their full as they are doing something at the same time. The company may fall behind loosing money which can be extremely crucial for a lot of companies. Also the training is extremely expensive although in the long run it is really good to be up to date.
