[spritch2]

hi, i'm currently a web designer trying to break into development in the uk, after taking a 6 month break from employment to brush up on some coding skills i'll be looking to get back to work soon.

i was just wondering how u guys keep your skills up to date, is it normal to expect employers to send staff for training or am i expected to take another 6-8 months off a couple of years from now?

just wondering

is it normal to expect employers to send staff for training?

Every organization should invest in their employees and send them to seminars and training.

Our organization allocated budget for approximately 5 days of training per employee. Employee and manager negotiate the kind of training that will mutually benefit employee and the company.
