Training: CDL has rightly sensed the need for training to develop the capacities of the information professionals and for creating more efficient information workers for the development organizations through their exposure in the new information and communication technologies. For that purpose, CDL has taken initiatives to provide necessary training on wide-ranging issues, such as video documentation, gender issues, environmental impact assessment, advocacy and social mobilization, good governance, entrepreneurship development, etc. The following table will summarize CDL's training interventions in different areas:

Internship: CDL has started the provision of In-service Training Program (Internship) from 1995. The aim and objective of the program is to create information worker in the field of development. The students of the Department of Information Science and Library Management, University of Dhaka, are currently undergoing in-service training in CDL after completing their Masters' examination. So far more than 40 students have completed their Internship at CDL. The students are getting hands-on training on documentation of development information, computerized information storage and retrieval systems, operation of E-mail, Internet etc. This program is making a great impact. Students, especially the female, are developing their skill in information management. All the previous internees got better job in different government and non-government agencies in comparison to their other colleagues. At the same time, they are also strengthening the network of CDL. Former Interns have formed an Internees Association which holds different programs to strengthen their professional and organizational capabilities. CDL has planned to extend the scope of the program by taking internees from other reputed academic institutions.
