La vocational training is more than essential so that employees or job seekers can adapt to the needs and the constant evolution of the labor market. Apprenticeship is as beneficial for the employee as it is for the company that employs him. Some entrepreneurs themselves do not disdain training courses dedicated to their business. Why is acquiring new knowledge a key element in the evolution of businesses and in the professional life of employees? A short plea in favor of training.
Training: a necessity for employees
More than just a need to acquire knowledge, vocational training is a real necessity, both for a professionally active person and for a job seeker. In fact, The job market and the news of professions, whatever they may be, are evolving more and more quickly. Not to mention soft skills, new digital tools that it would be advantageous to master... To integrate all this, you cannot rely solely on informal learning.
Through vocational training, it is becoming easier to adapt to changes related to your business, and to plan an effective organization allowing its structure or working method to be better adjusted. By following continuous or occasional training, employees can also learn to solve specific problems, or problems that are slightly removed from their field of predilection.
His performances are optimized, his knowledge enriched and his field of expertise expanded.. In addition, a professional apprenticeship can be an effective way to anticipate a professional retraining or resumption of activity. Learning new skills is also a source of personal satisfaction. On the other hand, not knowing is often a source of frustration. Take this tool in the workplace that no one knows what it is for, or what it does there. It looks like a deformed stapler, or an automatic toe-toe remover. It gathers dust in vague bursts of curiosity. Admit that if we offered you a mini-training course (or microlearning) on the use of this thing, you would go. Because it's frustrating not to know (and who knows, the mysterious object may save you a lot of time).
In certain types of companies or in certain fields of activity, professional training is mandatory for employees. Generally at the expense of the employer, apprenticeship allows employees to maintain their level of skills, or even improve it, while offering them the opportunity to enrich their skills. Even if your company does not require training, do not hesitate to talk to your manager or a training/HR manager. Often, an employee who wants to train has the opportunity.
Setting up dedicated devices, an asset for the company
Professional training organized within a company for its employees represents a major challenge from all angles. It allows you to be on the lookout, to follow and to anticipate changes or new regulations governing the form of the company, the sector of activity in which it operates or the organization of human resources. In-company training also offers the opportunity for the team to identify the changes to be implemented within its organization.. To do this, it is imperative to put in place appropriate training systems and coherent training methods at the level of learners.
In addition to meeting the expectations of the company, The training strategy must adapt to the evolution of the world of work (technology, organization and sociology). Nevertheless, She should not neglect skills related to interpersonal skills, such as communication, autonomy or teamwork. Maybe if you still don't know what the kind of toe-puller is for (let's be optimistic: probably not literally to pull your toes out), it's because your communication within the team is not good. That someone knows. And let him not tell you. Let him hide it from you...
In order to set up an effective vocational training capsule, it is important for the company to respect a certain approach. First, collect training requests. Then, review these requests or projects. Evaluate their feasibility, both in terms of financial resources and human resources. Once the project has been validated, the training program must then be defined. This will be established according to the needs of the learners and the demand of the professional market. The organization and follow-up of the training come last.
At the end of vocational training, the company employee obtains a training certificate. Depending on the agreement reached with his employer, he can return to his position by maintaining the same responsibilities or moving to another function or qualification within the company itself. It is also possible for him to withdraw or resign from the company, subject to the reimbursement of training costs. There is no point in coming to this under the pretext that none of the training you have taken taught you how to use the mysterious tool. The path to the truth is sometimes long and tortuous.
Multiple teaching methods
La face-to-face training is the most traditional and most widespread form of training for employees. It can be done in small or large groups, and use training services internal or external to the company.
To continue face-to-face training, participants are generally invited to travel to the premises of the training institution in order to follow courses provided by qualified trainers. However, It may happen that the training takes place within the company itself and that the trainers travel. In this case, the courses as well as the program can be customized.
In addition to face-to-face training, learners can also take vocational training in elearning, ie remotely via the Internet. Teaching takes place either on a computerized platform, generally on a computer, or via a specific application designed for a mobile device (we will then talk about Mobile learning). This form of learning offers the learner the opportunity to follow the program according to their availability and pace.. He is also not required to go to the training center. Since the courses or the explanations are available at any time, the learner is free to choose the time slots he wishes to devote to his learning.
As the world of vocational training is constantly innovating, many other methods are available : learning with and through others (Social learning), play serious games (Gamification), favor mixed learning between face-to-face and digital (Blended Learning)... Training or HR managers have a wide range of choices to improve the skills of employees.
Important, vocational training is an effective way for workers to increase their knowledge, improve their performance and progress professionally. For the job seeker, it can allow him to join a company. For the company, employee training is an adapted solution offering it the possibility of anticipating, managing and controlling the evolution of its field of activity.
Otherwise, the toe-puller story happened to... a friend... who wondered for months what that thing was. His colleagues did not know. Finally, this friend finally found someone who knew: it was a staple remover. Well, it's really not easy to use, this thing would require training! ... At least that's what our friend said.
Um.
