Learning Needs Assessment (LNA): Process in 5 steps 

Step 1: Invitation to a meeting 

GLAD sends out an invitation to meet with Work package Leaders (WPL) and Task Leaders (TL) to discuss the training requirements.

Step 2:  LNA meeting

GLAD organises meetings with every Work Package. During the meeting, GLAD will listen and ask questions. The ambition is to collect views on the current and future team performance, as well as to understand the context of each Work Package, team strategy, goals and deliverables.

Step 3: Summary email

GLAD provides a summary email. It will include the following: (a) identified needs; (b) proposed solutions; (c) prioritisation, (d) possible alternative(s) and (e) proposed execution timeline.

Step 4: Tentative Learning Plan  

Based on the input from LNA meetings, GLAD puts together a Learning Plan. All training requests are arranged in two groups: (1) Primary, the training projects that are essential and instrumental to the GN4.3 performance. Primary  training projects are those that are mentioned in the Technical Annex or those directly related to project deliverables. In terms of implementation primary training projects are given . (2) Associate, are those training projects that are deemed necessary but aren’t a ' Project Deliverable'. Prioritising associate projects will depend on availability and eligibility of resources.

Step 4a: Checking eligibility

GLAD checks financial eligibility of prospective training projects.

Step 5:  Publishing Final Learning Plan

GLAD publishes the Final Annual Learning Plan. It becomes an execution plan for GLAD team to deliver to the project.

It will be made available through https://learning.geant.org/ and sent out through all GN4.3 communication channels.
