Electric Paper wins top International Award

Electric Paper, the Dublin based e-learning company, with offices in Harrow, Middlesex, has received a top international award at the Institute of IT Training Awards 2002.

The company received the accolade of International Training Project of the Year for its provision of IT literacy training to 3,000 childcare workers across the state of Queensland in Australia.

The project developed for the Queensland Office of Child Care, which was rolled out in conjunction with Electric Paper’s Australian partner Skillgate Pty Ltd, scooped the top prize ahead of other international projects by Smartforce, Lionbridge Technologies, Global Learning Alliance and Global Information Systems.

The judges’ citation said that they were awarding the accolade to ‘an organisation that has undertaken a major international training project that is innovative in concept and has produced demonstrable performance improvement for the client.’

Commenting on the win, Jonny Parkes, managing director of Electric Paper said: “Over the past couple of years, we have established a presence in the UK, US and Australia. Our on-the-ground presence in these countries and our localised software courses has enabled us to sign a number of significant contracts in these markets."

“The worldwide IT literacy market has huge potential that still remains untapped. It is our intention to continue to expand organically into other countries and this recognition of our courseware as truly international and of the highest quality will help us to establish our name globally,” continued Mr Parkes.

Sambit Mohapatra of the Award’s sponsors, TATA Interactive Systems, presented the Award to Electric Paper at the Dorchester Hotel on 7th February.
