The Learning and Development (L&D) Programs at the DOTr will be the entry point for bridging the skill gaps of every workplace and employee through the adoption of the Department's own Competency-Based Framework. Formal training, on-the-job training, and self-directed learning are all examples of the types of L&D opportunities that should be provided to help each employee reach his or her full potential and, in turn, help the Department achieve its full potential. 

This Department acknowledges the significance of the continuous and all-encompassing development of its personnel, both professionally and personally, in order to contribute to the advancement of the organization. Hence, these Scholarship Programs  both for Study and Non-study Programs are shared with the DOTr's personnel to pursue build collective and individual competencies towards establishing an excellent and high performing organization which provides efficient delivery of its services consistent to this Department's mandate, mission, vision and sustainable development goals (SDG).

Microlearning is a strategy that includes taking in new information in bite-sized portions at a time. This strategy is also known as "chunk learning."

After being taught something, people are able to store and recall a significant amount of it for a length of time. On the other hand, the quality of such information tends to deteriorate over time if it is not considered "critical" to the activities that are currently taking place.

The strategy of microlearning is one approach that can be taken to solve this challenge. Knowledge retention and productivity can be improved by dividing the material into smaller chunks and practicing remembering different parts of it throughout time.
