10 June, 2020 | The ICTI Ethical Toy Program announces its collaboration with Quizrr to offer free and engaging E-learning content on a new platform to all factory members in the IETP Program. The E-learning platform contains informative videos powered by Quizrr, followed by a mini-test carefully designed by IETP’s expert team to strengthen the connection between the videos and the IETP standard. IETP aims to build factory knowledge and capability on responsible sourcing, supporting factories to make improvements, and helping them to get the most from the Ethical Toy Program. IETP’s in-person training sessions attracted over 1,110 factory representatives in 2019 and 1,560 in 2018. To build on this success, IETP will scale up its capability-building program to cover both factory management and workers via digital learning. The first training modules to be launched on the E-learning platform focus on Workplace Safety and Responsible Recruitment. Workplace Safety modules are available at basic and advanced levels. Responsible Recruitment is an advanced topic that will be launched in July. Factories can use the advanced modules to deepen their understanding of responsible sourcing and IETP requirements and deploy the basic modules as an internal training program to introduce new colleagues to the concepts, as well as educating workers on workplace safety, their rights and responsibilities. These E-learning modules are simple, impactful, and measurable. IETP member factories are free to access these resources via the Connect Platform.
