CEJFE

WHO WE ARE?
A center of studies and training linked to the Department of justice of the Autonomic government.
12.000 students per year.
14.000 hours of training.
We work for the department of justice (Courts and penitentiary Services), with 15.000 employees.
For the area of Penitentiary Services, we take care of the initial training and the continuous training.
The center (CEJFE) has a staff of 50 workers and an annual budget of 6 million Euros.

What have we made in Knowledge Management?
In the last 4 years (2006-2009) we have developed a communities of practice program.
For us a community of practice is a group of professionals who work for voluntary decision in a project that pretends to elaborate new knowledge.
This new knowledge has to be useful for the activities of the Department.

Why we do this program?
Fashion....? Social web.
Some previous experiences of members of our organization.
2006 : a good budgetary moment.
Clear consciousness of the limitations /advantages of the traditional systems of training.

Examples of communities of practice.
