ICT training is not needed for every business. A small restaurant owner probably does not use many computers in its daily operations. Even the equipment the restaurant uses will probably not have computer controls. The hot environment makes it impractical. Almost any other business with more than a few employees will benefit from training in information and computer technology. The programs people use change all the time. Word, for example, underwent a makeover in 2007. People had to relearn the word processing program. If your business relies heavily on computers, ICT training will help your business maintain its competitive edge. Even if it does not rely heavily on computers, there are probably certain segments of the operation that do.

ICT training does not need to be formal. Some people do learn best if they are subjected to a formal class room environment, other people can easily learn what they need to know from trade magazines and books. Others might learn it from a co-worker. A large business probably will receive the greatest benefit if the employee training is formalized in some way. The process of formalizing the training is usually the most expensive part of the ordeal. Once the procedures are in place,you can make sure the training goes smoothly.

ICT training has become necessary for many businesses. The training improves the productivity of employees and helps them stay up to date on changes in technology. Even secretaries, who increasingly rely on computers, need to know away around the average computer desktop. Reporters need to know the basics of page layout. Managers will benefit the most from ICT training, however. They need to understand exactly what their IT staff tells them. If a manager does not understand what the IT staff tells him or her, that manage may come up with grandiose solutions that sound great but have no practical application in reality.
