Training is fundamental to
the delivery of the Campus’ IT vision. Consequently
Mona Information Technology Services (MITS) regards it as
a fundamental responsibility to be integrally involved in
the determination of IT training.
Adequate and appropriate training for MITS personnel is fundamental
to the ability of the staff to offer quality advice and technology
support to the University Campus and its community. All staff
will be appropriately trained on an on-going basis in keeping
with the needs of the tasks to be performed, as they develop
and change. In addition staff will be encouraged to become
involved with related societies and fraternities in order
to remain acquainted and in touch with technology trends and
industry offerings.
Training for non-IT administrative staff will be specific
to the tools they require to manage and master their job functions.
Training for academic staff will address the need for developing
the technology support skills required to use and take advantage
of the technology in the teaching and research tools that
the Campus is deploying.
