We all know the adage: “There’s no age limit to learning”. Lifelong learning is a major step towards adapting to changes in our society, but also towards developing and discovering our full potential. Let’s not forget… adaptation has always been, and always will be, part of being human.
This is essential if we are to keep pace with changes in our society.
Acquiring new skills allows us to approach a constantly changing professional world and working methods with greater serenity. It all began in the early 1990s.
Indeed, this period was marked by the explosion of new information and communication technologies(ICT). These technologies have had an impact on companies at a number of levels: human resources management, finance, administration, and have also enabled the development of communication tools.
The training enabled everyone to keep pace with these developments, and to adopt the various tools as they became available.
The benefits of training are many. We gain skills every day, but it’s training that enables us to reinforce them and really put them into practice. It reinforces our knowledge and reassures us by offering us the possibility of constant learning to confront a changing world.
There’s something for everyone
Whether it’s a question of topics, training organizations, status or training tools, you’re spoilt for choice!
Are you a job seeker, freelancer, employee or student? many public and private organizations can help you with your training project: CCI (Chambres de Commerce et d’Industrie), AFPA (Agence nationale pour la formation professionnelle des adultes) GRETA (Les GRoupements d’ÉTAblissements), companies, Pôle Emploi, private schools…
Training topics are equally diverse. You can develop skills related to your sector of activity, behavioral aptitudes or be introduced to a completely new discipline. Would you like to specialize or broaden your horizons? Whatever your needs, we’ve got the answer.
We offer a range of training courses: initial training, continuing education, vocational training, face-to-face training, sandwich courses, distance learning, VAE (validation of prior learning), etc.
All these devices offer a wide range of possibilities. All you have to do is think about it.
Digitalization facilitates access to training
The digitalization of training has evolved significantly in recent years. The range of courses on offer is now more readily available to anyone wishing to learn at a distance and whenever they want. Distance learning, e-learning or hybrid training frees you from physical constraints. With just a few clicks of the mouse, you can access rich and varied content.
This advance enables us to reach a wider audience, and allows learners to respect their own pace and needs. Ideal in today’s fast-paced society. So everyone can learn when and where they want.
There are many tools available for ODL. These include Clickmeeting, Zoom or Skype for video training; Prezi or Slideshare for course presentation; and Audacity for audio.
Another example: MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) arrived in France several years ago. They offer online courses on a wide range of subjects, including digital technology, soft skills, biology, personal development, etc.
Training is good for your health!
Did you know? When we learn a new discipline, our ability to listen, concentrate, understand and memorize increases. Our brain works like a muscle: the more we use it, the better it performs.
As well as developing your intellectual capacities, learning puts a smile on your face! That’s right: people who take training courses say they are less anxious, less depressed and healthier.
