Brochure

The Forum on Learning and Development in the Public Sector aims to encourage best practice, sharing and benchmarking of experience and expertise amongst practitioners in training, learning and development within the civil service, local government, state agency and health services sectors in Ireland.  It also incorporates international perspectives and participation in order to build a strong community of practice.  The Forum is particularly focused on supporting training and learning practitioners in all public sector organisations and encouraging links with practitioners in similar organisations elsewhere.

Each year the Forum hosts a range of activities including an annual conference programme and a series of shorter seminar events, which will be of interest to those involved in the design, delivery or management of training, learning and development at an individual or organisational level.

We want the Forum to work for you, so we will tailor it to your needs and areas of interest.  Among the areas we would hope to promote and stimulate knowledge sharing and discussion on are:

• Coaching & mentoring for organisational effectiveness
• Evaluation of training and learning
• Emerging issues in the practice of organisational learning and development
• Professional development for training and learning managers
• Using technology to support learning
• Best practice in other sectors
• National developments impacting on training and learning
• The use of psychometric tests in development programmes
• Leadership development
• Best practice in international schools
