Government

A citizen-centered e-government is not just about constructing web portals and includes all supporting functions of information technology. The creation of an efficient e-government begins with IT budget justification and performance management. The budget justification process is often seen as an obstacle, but is a necessity in identifying where more training needs to be provided to government professionals.

At theLearningPort, relevant courseware in information technology is available for the use of Government officials that will increase their knowledge and skill sets. Ultimately, this will help to create an efficient citizen-centered e-government that enhances services for the taxpayer by improving the way government functions are performed.

Through the implementation of key features and a distinctive methodology, theLearningPort offers a unique and effective approach to learning services.

Our mission is to provide practitioner training, career management, and services to enable the community of government officials in urban local bodies, government departments at the state and national level, public sector institutions, state and central secretariats, etc. technology savvy, with the ability to make smart business decisions and deliver timely and affordable results to the citizen.

To increase the delivery from the public sector, we have to address what training programs are currently being bought into. A training programme has got to be much more relevant to the needs of the public institution and to the citizen. It will mean that current methods of delivery will have to shift with respect to how their programmes are developed and delivered. The moot question that needs to be addressed is - does the skill and competence one has gained improve the ability to do one's job?

At the LearningPort we believe that people learn by doing. Whether learning to swim, drive a car, or cook goulash, that skill is never easily acquired until you roll up your sleeves and get at the task. Our training is based on this philosophy. Whether you want to learn a new technology track or revise one that has had a new version released, fundamentally, you don't need to sit through a lecture. What you do need though, is an appropriate environment where you can experiment with new concepts, expand on your present abilities, and get constructive feedback from an expert. Importantly, you don't need someone telling you what to do. You need an assessment of what you're doing now, and how you can do it better. Then a chance to try it out.

That's why our methodology is so effective. Participants are given maximum opportunity to practice new skills or concepts. Learners do exercises which let them feel for themselves how the application of the concept works in real life. They receive immediate and regular feedback and guidance from the trainer, and the trainers encourage the participants to share their own opinions and personal experience with the group, creating an atmosphere of cooperation.
