Question: Life Long Learning options <strong>and</strong> support<br />

The affirmative answers were in majority for the following questions:<br />

Does your organization encourage/support/stimulate Continual Professional<br />

Development (CPD) <strong>and</strong>/or Life Long Learning (LLL)?<br />

Is there a permanent education institution for public sector employees in your country<br />

used to teach skills needed for performing everyday tasks of public servants (through<br />

internal basic training programme in areas such as law, economics, foreign languages<br />

<strong>and</strong> information technology) – either one government institution (like e.g. the Academy of<br />

Public <strong>Administration</strong> in Austria), or permanent training centres e.g. at ministries?<br />

Does your organization undertake study trips to visit reference sites or exchange<br />

experiences with peer organizations inl<strong>and</strong> or abroad?<br />

Does your country organize exchange of experience workshops where experts from other<br />

countries present their projects or infrastructures in the fields of Spatial Data<br />

Infrastructure or <strong>L<strong>and</strong></strong> <strong>Administration</strong>?<br />

The majority of organizations do not provide internship programmes aimed at acquiring skills<br />

by apprentices. This is now changing e.g. in Croatia, where 91 persons will be admitted to<br />

internship programme within SGA in year 2012 (http://www.dgu.hr/).<br />

Also, with exceptions of licensed surveyors in Croatia <strong>and</strong> FYR Macedonia, no other<br />

profession noted obligation to collect CPD points. Requiring credits for continuous<br />

professional development is a good method for encouragement <strong>and</strong> enforcing the necessary<br />

skills among some of the professional groups.<br />

The fact that online seminars <strong>and</strong>/or distant learning were practically not utilized at all is<br />

obviously calling for action. Although classroom education cannot be entirely replaced by<br />

technical means, we witness that these days, complementary to class teaching, many<br />

educational content <strong>and</strong> trainings are successfully delivered by means of Internet<br />

infrastructure <strong>and</strong> web environment, as well as distant learning solutions, such as webinars,<br />

as complementary.<br />
