Since October 1998 the Office communautaire et régional de l'Emploi et de la Formation professionnelle (FOREM - the Community and Regional Agency for employment and vocational training)and the Institut de Formation Permanente pour les Classes moyennes et les Petites et Moyennes Entreprises (IFPME - Institute for permanent training for small firms and traders) has been organising short courses (3 to 20 hours) on new information and communication technologies. These courses are partially subsidised by the Walloon Government.
The training is directed at jobseekers, those working in small and medium-sized firms and self-employed people wishing to add to their skills in this field. The programme is in two main parts. The first relates to the Internet and Intranet. The student is introduced to the Internet and finds out how to use it, communicate by electronic mail and present information. The second is on telecommunications and their applications, with an introduction to telecommunications, groupware, electronic trading and teleworking. The courses are held at over thirty locations throughout the Walloon Region (except in the German-speaking Community). The courses are free of charge for jobseekers. For businesses, there is a fixed charge of 250 Belgian Francs (6.20 EUR) an hour per participant. Further information from: FOREM Internet site: www.forem.beSource: FOREM (CIDOC) |
