Mind the (future) skills gap

Mind the skills gap

The “war on talent” and related skills gap are a serious mid-term risk for most industrial companies in developed countries according to BNR, the Dutch business radiostation.

For this reason it is highly recommended to improve HR retention rates and provide continuous education to your workforce.

DTC’s Education & Certification platform might assist you with this second objective.

In-house courses

Do you want to set-up online training courses for internal use ?

Upon request DTC may develop and/or host e-learning courses for in-house purposes.

Please feel free contact us for more information.

Course structure explained

Our e-learning courses are typically build from multiple building blocks called lessons.

These lessons are build with smaller building blocks called topics.

Quizzes may be used at course, lesson and/or topic level.

Assessments explained

In order to determine the appropriate online training (level), we have created so-called “prior knowledge assessments”.

During the course, quizzes will be regularly used to verify the absorption of lessons and/or topics.

Once an e-learning course have been completed, we conduct a “final assessment” and may optionally certify “succesfull completion” of the course.
