Re: RPG Training

[Pete Helgren <Pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Might want to consider sending them to an off site RPG training 
opportunity.  Common's conference is coming up in May and I think RPG & 
DB2 Summit is coming up very soon.

The advantage of training off site at something like a Common conference 
or the Summit is that your new programmer can hook up with other 
programmers that can become resources and mentors over time, something 
that an e-learning course probably doesn't provide.
