We're planning some exciting new developments for TrainingZONE's IT TrainingZONE and are looking for members to play a key role in making these a success.

If you're an IT trainer looking to network with others and share tips, experience and know-how, we're planning a new area just for you. The IT Trainers Professional Interest Group (or PIG) will allow members interested in sharing their views and experiences on the IT training industry, training delivery methods, technology or the latest software.

One of the key benefits to joining the new group will be the chance to discuss and share experiences online, through forums and workshop sessions - and there'll be the opportunity to run events offline too. The group may choose to meet weekly, monthly or more or less often depending on members' preferences.

As a group member, you'll be able publish and read other members' reviews of software you've tested recently, tip-offs on virus alerts, share techniques for delivering stimulating training or get the latest information on funding opportunities - in fact, anything that you think is important to the group members. The PIG is designed to let you set the agenda!

We're particularly interested at this stage in hearing from members who would like to play a key role in getting the Group up-and-running - perhaps you already network with a group of associates and could benefit from a defined area to share (we can set up a new Group just for you), or perhaps you'd simply like to share your thoughts with others.

If you're interested in getting involved, e-mail us now and we'll forward more information about a launch date for the Group over the next few weeks.

I'm interested in joining the IT trainers Professional Interest Group.

We plan to make this the first in a series of Professional Interest Groups (or PIGs) designed to bring together members with similar interests and working backgrounds, so if you'd like to be kept informed about future plans for Professional Interest Groups, send us an e-mail.
