The Trainer’s Guide to Manual aims to support experienced trainers in their task of effectively delivering the five module training course to participants on the processes and approaches of local economic development (LED) strategy development and implementation. The Guide highlights the fundamental concepts, tools and instruments necessary for developing and implementing local economic strategies and action plans, and provides suggestions and guidance on how the trainer can, and should, organize the delivery of the five training modules. It provides information on learning objectives and approaches, timeline, frequency of training, the use and application of training materials, and managing the learning delivery process. The Guide has been structured to enable trainers to prepare, conduct and deliver the LED training modules.
Course materials have been designed to provide participants with a thorough understanding of the key issues and approaches to LED strategy development. A key focus of the Guide is therefore to identify and utilize learning tools for LED that help participants to apply the LED concepts and instruments learned throughout the training, to the design and implementation of their own LED strategic plan. It is envisaged that the Trainer’s Guide to Manual will be used by an experienced trainer that has an understanding and knowledge of the fundamental concepts and practices of strategic planning and local economic development.
