Distance Learning

1.Positions with different duties are represented in different fan shapes forming a closed circle.

2.Each area, with higher education as the initial field, is divided into certain levels (entry-, mid- and senior-).

3.Within each level, the training courses designed includes job induction training and job rotation training.

4.Every staff could be fitted in a certain grid in the curriculum system.
