Success of online training spurs calls for more interactive webinars
December 15th, 2020 – One of the major outcomes of the COVID-19 pandemic could be a permanent change in how and where many people work.
The restrictions imposed by governments to contain the virus have sent millions of workers into “home office”, resulting in a surge in the use of online platforms and technologies to help employees stay connected, both to each other and to their clients or customers. Curbs on travel have also seen an explosion in the number of online meetings and conferences held by companies, institutions and organizations around the globe.
The United Nations is no exception. The pandemic is motivating UN agencies to work together to find alternative ways to engage with Member States and deliver their services, including the extensive use of online tools and webinars.
In one of the latest examples, in November and early December the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) contributed to a series of pilot online training workshops to build national capacity on science, technology and innovation (STI) in developing countries in order to help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
