It is targeted at small and medium (SME) sized manufacturing companies in Wales. As a pilot project, it will focus on testing the effectiveness of the web in knowledge transfer, assessing its role as part of a 'blended' learning appraoch. It will also recommend options for a roll out of the programme and the factors required to make it a sustainable proposition. |
