Regional Workshop for Directors of Training
 |
On March 1, 2016, the CEF hosted the third Directors of Training
Seminar to assess and exchange views on the evolving training needs
and policy priorities of the Arab League countries. The seminar was
attended by 30 participants (directors of training, human resources
managers, heads of career development units) from 17 Arab
countries.
As a background for the seminar, the CEF carried out
an Online Survey that targeted two groups of respondents: Alumni who
attended CEF training activities in 2014 and 2015, and the directors
of training and other officials involved in nominating participants
for CEF training courses. “We are proud to announce that the findings
of the survey were very positive. The results indicated CEF training’s
positive impact on enhancing public sector officials’ skills in
economics and finance.
Ray Brooks, Division Chief at the
IMF-ICD, discussed the online learning tools that have been developed
to reach a broader audience. Raja’a Al-Behaisi, CEF Office Manager,
explained the administrative process followed in CEF courses from
nomination to course completion. Muhannad Darwish, Program Officer at
the CEF, explained in detail the findings of the Online survey and
highlighted the key lessons to enhance the delivery of training at the
Center. Gina Paone, Advisor and Senior Personnel Manager at the
IMF-ICD moderated the session on effective ways to enhance
participants’ capacity and ensure that the CEF training courses take
into consideration their skills progression and their overall career
development goals set out.
In his closing thoughts, Kanaan
underscored the key takeaways from the seminar including the
importance for the CEF to continue an open dialogue with the Directors
of Training to ensure that the course program for 2017 reflects the
needs of the countries; raises the regional relevance of the various
case studies to ensure that they are of practical use for the
participants; and enhances the sequencing of courses and expands the
use of online learning.
