各機構亦向我們提供了寶貴的意見(當中包括申請、推行和監督推行資訊科技業務系統提升計劃時需要完善的地方)
社署在推出基金第二階段時，在基金原有的框架上引入一些優化措施，從而更切合機構及同工的實際需要。

To maximize the value of training.
May include non-subvented staff in sharing sessions, talks and seminars, etc.

在沒有額外成本的原則下，機構可讓非受資助的員工一同參與培訓及專業發展
可增加培訓項目的價值及成本效益
可讓非資助員工參與例如分享會、講座、研討會
機構需透過現行匯報機制向社署報告這些非受資助員工參與基金資助培訓的人數

10. SWDF – Enhancement Measures
