The Met Office is the national meteorological service for the UK. They provide critical weather services and world-leading climate science, helping people make better decisions to stay safe and thrive. They use a Talent Experience platform to support their people in a variety of ways. Along with traditional lessons, learners participate in on-the-job training with assessments along the way as well as mandatory compliance training and technical training.
Operational meteorology training is very highly regarded worldwide. The Met Office College often trains staff from other national meteorological services and teaches modules for meteorology courses, such as that at the University of Reading in the UK, as well as providing training for organisations in industries such as gas, oil, energy and retail.
As well as using Totara Learn to facilitate their training needs, the Met Office also use Totara Engage as a way to capture informal learning data and support communities of practice. Join Malcolm Taylor, Senior People Development Manager, to see how the Met Office:

- Have developed communities of practice to support professions with Totara Engage
