Training and development

LIEM's cross-sectoral Training and Development Strategic Group was reconvened towards the end of 2008. The group’s remit is to:

· act as a steering group for the provision of cross-sectoral libraries training and development opportunities

· assess the training and development needs of staff in LIEM member organisations that might be met by the provision of regional training events and activities.

· map current opportunities for cross-sectoral training and identify relevant providers including in-house trainers.

· establish a dialogue with LIEM non-member organisations to assess their training interests and priorities.

· provide a regular programme of regional (and where appropriate cross-sectoral) training opportunities based on identified needs.

The steering group has identified and agreed a number of priorities for cross-sectoral training in 2009, including: Managing Change, Delivering Excellent Customer Service and Teaching Skills for Library Staff. In addition, LIEM's highly acclaimed leadership programme 'Motivate, Learn, Lead' will be delivered again in 2009-2010.
