According to a Washington post article, the US Army is offering civilian employees more training and education than in the past.  Army Civilian University is a year-old product of necessity where these civilians can recieve the training and education they need.  The responsibilities of the civilian workforce employed by the Army have changed in recent years due to the wars in Iraq and Afganistan.  The deployment of troops has created vacancies that are being filled by civilians who require specific training and education to successfully fill those roles.  Change demands training. A man, employed by Volvo for 20 years, was recently laid-off because of cutbacks.  In his former job, this man acquired a certain skill-set and ocassionally updated those skills through training opportunities.  Despite achieving the highest levels of training available at Volvo, this man will need to be retrained for his new job at John Deere.  Change demands training. An English teacher of 30+ years is challenged to be trained or to be gone.  She is loved by her students, their parents, her colleagues and the administration.  She loves litterature, grammar, and doing things "the old-fashioned way".  So when NCLB was instituted and every teacher was required to integrate technology in to the classroom, she had to be trained on how to use a computer.  Change demands training. Whether the cause for change is external or internal, you can be sure that it will require training.
