Training strategies for advanced end-users

Modern information technology, software and data processing systems, and the ways in which they are used, change very quickly. It is therefore important to analyze current training needs, and it is necessary to organise a training strategy which will ensure that in the long term the community can offer qualified training courses to advanced end-users. At present, we are trying to determine a strategy for training courses in data processing for students who will not be specialising in computer science, but in other technical topics, such as planning, construction engineering or surveying. It is not possible to meet the demands of strategy merely by building flexible training courses divided into modules: the contents of the training courses also need to be looked at in the light of strategy. Students will be taught skills for managing rapid change. A key-concept in the strategy is general education in electronic data processing.
