For the first time in the region, BaytLearning's one-stop marketplace provides professionals free and immediate access to the universe of learning opportunities in the Middle East, anytime -24/7. BaytLearning is accessed from the Bayt home page, www.bayt.com.
BaytLearning provides a variety of learning tools, opportunities and information under one umbrella (www.bayt.com), empowering individuals and corporations to take more control of the career development process. This includes general and enrolment information on all types of learning opportunities from top learning providers in the region, including Leading Concepts, Right Selection, Synergy, and Learn Online, so users can quickly and easily locate the opportunities they are interested in pursuing. On BaytLearning, users can search for courses by location, cost, area of interest, learning provider, and more. Moreover, users can view the "hottest" courses offered throughout the region each week.
Previously, information about learning opportunities on a regional basis was not available with users depending on word-of-mouth referrals from friends and colleagues and market-specific advertising driven by learning providers to become aware of upcoming events. BaytLearning revolutionises the information-gathering process. By creating a one-stop learning marketplace, users can now seek out for themselves the learning opportunities they need to help them advance in their careers. This means that instead of relying on one or two training providers, users can now view a comprehensive list of all learning resources available in the market.
Similarly for learning providers, BaytLearning enables them to reach the largest community of professionals and employers in the region. Currently on Bayt, there are over530,000 professionals and over10,000 companies who are using Bayt's e-cruitment services. These two groups visit the Bayt site daily and therefore provide a strategically- captive audience for learning providers seeking to raise awareness for their products and services.
The launch of BaytLearning is a natural extension of Bayt's Lifestyle Engineering proposition. Bayt's e-cruitment solution currently connects thousands of professionals with employers across the region. Now, BaytLearning will provide these same individuals with ways to further improve their skills through training and other learning opportunities which will help them advance careers and stay competitive - all in line with Bayt's Lifestyle Engineering promise.
"BaytLearning represents an important achievement for Bayt," states Rabea Ataya, CEO, Bayt.com. He adds, "We want to empower users in the region with the means, tools, and knowledge to build their lifestyle of choice - this includes finding the right job and training yourself with the skills to stay competitive in the marketplace." He further emphasizes, "We are launching into BaytLearning with the same drive, creativity, and business savvy as we did for online recruiting. Look for exciting things to come from BaytLearning."
