Editor's note
=============

The government remains the same, but there's a substantial
reshuffle taking place at the Department for Education and
Employment. As schools minister Estelle Morris takes up the
reins from David Blunkett, TrainingZONE writes an open letter to
the Prime Minister detailing five key areas of education and
training which we consider are a priority for this government's
second term. Read 'Our View' at

World of Training Partner Page launches

Last week, TrainingZONE launched its first showcase for training
providers, in the shape of the World of Training Partner Page.

providers, are building on their business after owner Nigel Linacre
bought the company at the end of February. With a TrainingZONE
partner page, World of Training can display their sizeable database
of courses, show featured special offers and provide contact and
website details, all in one dedicated area of the site. To find out
