Performing Need Analysis and Design of Training on Global Navigation Satellite System Related Applications for GRACE

The use of signals from Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) for various industrial applications has increased tremendously increased over the last ten years. With the evolution of new technologies and the launch of new satellite systems by different countries, new applications of these signals have emerged. A change in technology creates a need for training. The existing industries and new entrants need to learn and get trained to improve and sustain business performance. This project aims at understanding the current GNSS training market to narrow down on specific industrial sectors, which have training needs, that could be commercially exploited by GRACE, the organization for which the project is undertaken. The analysis of whether elearning can be used as a method of training is also performed. Based on analysis, training programmes are then designed on subject areas catering to specific industry needs. Potential challenges in designing training are also discussed. A list of recommendations is provided to GRACE in the end of the report
