Employers are finding they can improve the skill set of their staff through online training courses. Director of media consultancy firm Stephen Hoare wrote in Education Guardian that many people are taking part in distance learning online because they wish to develop their roles in industries including nursing, finance, law and banking. Furthermore, virtual learning environments provide networking opportunities to participants, he remarked, highlighting the appearance of internet forums enabling online training students to discuss academic or course matters with students in rival businesses. HSBC corporate banking analyst Dan Hiskey described these discussion boards as “an amazing professional network” in the article. He revealed the online learning course he took part in dealt with basic elements of his industry and featured assignments in which he was encouraged to refer to workplace tasks.
