CAREER DEVELOPMENT USING VIRTUAL COMMUNICATION TOOLS

Summary/Abstract: Quite a few multinational IT companies in Bucharest, with offices in various cities in Romania, use e-trainers that deliver to employees at these offices, various forms of online training programs, depending on their type: employees during their trial period, employees that need continuous training or the ones that require training to be promoted to higher career levels. The present paper aims to identify the level of e-learning facilitation through the use of specific tools for each type of etraining (induction e-training, on-boarding e-training, skill development e-training) identified as being frequently practiced by IT multinational companies. We are working with the following hypothesis: we are expecting that the tools used in each of the e-trainings contribute to the formation of the basic competences needed to retain and promote employees. In order to verify the working hypothesis, we are trying to answer the following questions: What are the specific tools used for each type of e-training? To what degree do the online evaluation tasks have firstly constituted tasks for learning and development of new abilities? The research was run during May-September 2014, on a lot of 20 IT companies in Bucharest, that work with Politehnica University in Bucharest, on various areas of interest. We have used as a data collection instrument, the survey applied on a lot of 200 employees of these IT companies, who benefit from such online trainings. Also, we have used the case study to analyse the tools used in these e-trainings. The obtained results confirm the research hypothesis.
