Lesson-76531-5

In Mexico, a primary lesson from the pilot project is the importance of learning how to adapt the training modules to the needs of the target sectors. Online, self-paced modules, such as those on the project website, can be effective, either if: they are combined with participatory, instructor-led training; or completion of the modules and the questionnaires is obligatory for trainees who take the training course. The evaluation team finds the former more appropriate for field workers and producers. The latter might be an option for more senior managers of companies that want to participate in specific certification schemes.
