Play. Study. Develop. Training for NGOs
The development of NGOs depends on the people with which they cooperate, either employees, members or volunteers. Training is a continuous effort, while the fluctuation of personnel and volunteers is relatively high. Therefore, a permanent and yet flexible tool is needed – this is the ATSIV training platform. It ensures professional development needed for the nonprofit sector by play and personal study, in the pace of each individual involved.
