Successful IT departments are defined not only by the technology they deploy and manage, but by the skills and capabilities of their people. IT workers must stay up to date with the latest technology trends and evolutions, as well as soft skills, like project management, presentation and persuasion, and general management. This policy from TechRepublic Premium defines the types of training the company will pay for and covers training guidelines, employee obligations, organizational responsibilities, and reimbursement procedures.

From the policy:

Successful IT departments are defined not only by the technology they deploy and manage, but by the skills and capabilities of their people. IT workers must keep up to date with the latest technology trends and evolutions, as well as developing soft skills like project management, presentation and persuasion, and general management.

Due to the varied scope of training needs, external coursework, and vendor-specific training provided outside the company are critical elements for a comprehensive training program.

This IT training policy from TechRepublic Premium is designed to help workers identify training options that fit within their overall career development track and get the necessary approvals for enrollment and reimbursement.
