As Goducate continues to expand with more workers in more Asian countries, it has been very difficult to train new local staff and to upgrade the training of existing staff.
Most of Goducate‘s work is in remote rural communities, which requires many hours of travel to get there. So in the past we managed to train our staff only once or twice a year.
Better Wi-Fi coverage in rural Asia has now allowed us to do more training via video conferencing applications. Previous attempts to do video training via the Internet resulted in much frustration because of poor Wi-Fi connections in most of rural Asia.
Presently we are able to conduct video training from our headquarters in Singapore to our teams in Indonesia, Philippines, China, Kyrgyztan, Malaysia, and Vietnam.
With more frequent and better training our existing Goducate teams ought to have a better impact on the communities they serve.
And as Wi-Fi coverage enters more remote areas, we will be more confident about expanding our work into remote areas because we become more certain that we can provide the necessary training to our staff.
