1. Develop training modules, in collaboration with WMO ETR and RTCs, and based on recently updated WMO guidance material, on priority topics of interest to Members.
2. Develop guidance material supporting Members in establishing and operating sustainable measurement infrastructure (e.g. operation and maintenance plans, training curriculum, competency frameworks)
3. Develop short training modules, and outreach material, to sensitize users and managers on the importance and challenges of measurements, and related quality issues.
4. Promote sharing of experience on transitioning to modern measurements, including through the organization of training workshops, community of practices, webinars and technical conferences.

In collaboration with ETR and RTCs, monitor Member training requirements and availability of training courses/material from a SC-MINT perspective, identify areas that are not appropriately covered by existing training and guidance material, and make proposals to SC-MINT on possible gaps and topics that should be addressed as a priority and encourage RTCs to share existing training courses, materials and experiences.
