Transformation in the world of work
23/10/2018
With its 2019 offering and solutions, Cegos is pursuing its commitment to developing skills
The technological revolutions, the emergence of new jobs and the ongoing changes in the world of work are making life long learning a major challenge.It is against this backdrop that Cegos, an international leader in learning and development, is continuing to develop its offering for 2019.With one belief: skills development and upgrading are key to address work-related challenges. And Learning & Development is a decisive lever to consolidate organisations' competitiveness and people's employability.Transform learning to transform skills
José Montes, Chairman of the Cegos Group, explains: “As a leader on the learning and development market, we have a duty to stand side by side with people and organisations as they tackle the transformation in the world of work. Making organisations more competitive and people more employable: that collective and individual performance is what we strive to achieve with our customers. By innovating non-stop, we are able to engage learners in three ways: - We see learning as a long-term experience: time is an essential factor when people acquire the skills they will need for the future. We can acquire new knowledge very fast but changing our habits and ways of doing things at work takes time.- We are keen on "rehumanising" learning, by harnessing teaching skills and relationships; we have wide variety of options to do that (virtual classrooms, community management, e-coaching, peer coaching, tutoring, etc.). - We are tailoring learning experiences, by delivering the content each individual needs and by taking each learner’s preferences into account.”Developing technological skills in addition to social, emotional and behavioural skills
As technology develops, it is the strictly human aspects of work which will become crucial. The basic technological skills to develop in today's world and tomorrow's world will not suffice: social, emotional and behavioural skills (coordinating a project, managing, collaborating, communicating, unleashing creativity, learning to learn, etc.) are also crucial and must be developed to ensure robust employability for all.Against this backdrop, the Cegos 2019 offering includes:-130 Besttraining courses regarding the transformation of companies and the individual operational success.- 65 technological training coursesAnnick Allegret, member of the Cegos Group Board of Directors, explains:"Cegos has three beliefs that have guided the transformation of our offering in recent years.The first belief is that the strictly human aspects of work and the associated skills will become increasingly important when dealing with technology. The second belief is that human interactions are and will remain the cornerstone of in-depth learning. The third belief is crucial for the future: transforming skills into performance is mainly about boosting the learners’ involvement and enabling them to root learning in their daily practices.Skills and performance are therefore the bywords for our solutions for 2019.”Turning skills into performance using the 4REAL© approach
According to the "Transformations, skills and L&D" study led in April 2018 by Cegos, rooting learning into actual work situations is the most important factor for engaging learners according to HRDs and employees. As such, transposition and putting into practice gives meaning, activates learning outcomes and contextualises them in different situations.With its 4REAL© (Real Efficient Adapted Learning) approach created in 2018, Cegos focuses half of the learner's experience on transposition: prior preparation, projection in action during the course or remote activities, definition of an action plan, practice and thought sequences after the formal training phase... The 4REAL© approach was designed to foster blossoming of skills and, by extension, performance.The 400 4REAL© training courses offered by Cegos let participants transpose what is learned to their job thanks to:- Classroom courses enhanced with digital resources, which offer a wide range of learning activities;
- Practice with technical tools and behavioural protocols: virtual reality, practice modules, etc.
- The implementation of new practices, with interactive resources from the moment participants return to work.
Ensuring a more engaging learning experience
For Cegos, digital resources boost engagement. There are many benefits for learners:- Getting involved prior to the training by fostering awareness: stimulating videos, diagnostics, first tools, etc.
