The Organisational StructureThe ILO recognized that the long term effectiveness and usage of prepared materials largely depended on their application within a firm, supportive institutional framework. PDP was therefore designed to be an expanding library of materials supported by a standardized organisational structure to provide assistance, training and encouragement to port, terminal or training centre based instructors. The PDP system framework should be built on the participation of three categories of providers:
Each has a distinct role:
The PDP Co-ordinator is responsible for promoting and organising the Programme within the country, including the establishment and support of portworker training locations and programmes. The Chief Instructors are responsible for recruiting, training and supporting the instructors. Chief Instructors are likely to be active instructors themselves, taking (or assisting in) PDP sessions on a regular basis and/or assisting instructors to evaluate the PDP presentations. Instructors are the bedrock of the PDP system, with the primary responsibility of presenting PDP sessions on a regular, timetabled basis - this may be a full or part-time role. In addition, Instructors will work closely with their departmental head or training centre principal and with port/terminal managers and personnel officers. In small ports or organizations, where the trainee numbers are reduced, the PDP Co-ordinator may also take on the role and responsibilities of a Chief Instructor. |
