How complex is your Non-Profit organization? Does your newly hired staff need training on your policies and procedures? On your products and services? On your software and hardware? What happens when you change procedures, get new products, update your software? Does your existing staff need training? How do you supply the training? On the job? In the classroom? Online learning courses? And how do you manage the training administration? Keep track of results? Determine who is eligible for additional training?

At this months' round table discussion let's talk about our experiences in providing training to staff, or receiving training to be better SysAdmins. How can the Non-Profit SysAdmin help deliver and track training for our organizations' training requirements?

In a future session we'll discuss providing education to the clients of our organizations; this month let's focus on internal training.

Meeting Notes

Legacy codes
  • People inherit old legacy code, eg. spreadsheets
  • Nobody want to admit to knowing Excel for fear of having to fix someone's code
Techsoup Catalogue
  • Zoom
    • but that's just conferencing software, not training management software
  • Desire To Learn is no longer in the catalogue


  • We'll look at Desire To Learn and Moodle for the Education topic
