Case Study: Department for International Trade (DIT) achieves automated onboarding and a modern digital learning hub with Totara Learn

The Department for International Trade Streamlined and Automated Their Onboarding Process With Totara Learn

The Department for International Trade (DIT), set up in 2016 to manage UK trade and investment, needed to recruit, onboard and develop thousands of staff quickly. They required a modern, multilingual digital learning platform to reengineer induction and onboarding, automate manual processes, devolve content ownership to profession leads, and provide a 21st‑century virtual learning environment with outsourced LMS management and easy access to Civil Service Learning content.

DIT chose Accipio and Totara Learn to deliver a future‑proof LMS with an automated "One DIT Induction," personalised learning pathways, gamification, a discover page, social learning, single sign‑on and leader-focused hubs. The solution saved time through automation and improved reporting, freed in‑house staff, drove thousands of learner interactions (notably during Learning at Work Week), and created an innovative, credible digital learning ecosystem supported by custom plugins and responsive partner support.
