Training and Development
 We
are committed to maintaining our excellent service delivery record through
ongoing training and development of our staff. Staff competency in running
a safe and efficient railway is ensured through: proactive and high quality
training technologies, such as sophisticated railway training facilities
and accelerated development schemes for high potential staff at management
and professional levels. In the previous 4 consecutive years, through
its ISO certified training systems, MTR received six awards from the American
Society for Training & Development (ASTD) for its outstanding training
practices. The most recent awards were:
- 2001 ASTD Excellence in Practice Award for its Executive Accelerated
Development Programme

Requirement Through New Technology and Effective Training Management'
To meet the changing needs of the railway, a total of 3,293 training
courses on operations, technical and safety were delivered, amounting
to 44,560 trainee mandays in 2002.
There are more than 30 regular managerial, supervisory and professional

Leadership Development
 To
foster leadership development, a Manager Accelerated Development Programme
was launched to groom a pool of top-notch talent for future leadership
needs. The programme broadens the experience of managers by exposing them
to areas beyond their normal working dimensions through a series of specially
designed training modules and action learning projects. In addition to
ensuring succession for senior management positions, it acts as a powerful
performance driver at the managerial level.
