Written by In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, effective training is more important than ever. For the AEC sector, the success of digital transformation hinges on well-prepared instructors who can transfer essential knowledge and skills.
In our report, Constructing Skills for African Prosperity, we draw upon exemplars which highlight the importance of “train-the-trainer” models. Autodesk Learning Partners share best practice and reinforce the importance of partnership working.
