Volunteer training: digital learning to the rescue

Volunteers on the street, one of them is training on his tablet - Volunteer training: digital learning to the rescue

Because volunteers must be trained on a permanent basis, it seems essential to find a solution that is quick, effective and adapted to their constraints, which are very different from those of employees. In order to integrate and acculturate them, or to increase their skills, we help associations that need to train their volunteers continuously, so that they can be effective in the four corners of the world.

Volunteer training: specific needs, specific apprenticeships!

Every year, behind the scenes of associations, institutions and NGOs, the need for training is growing and is felt. According to The EIDH, 70% of association managers believe that their teams are ready to train. Moreover, 80% of volunteers approve of the apprenticeship process.

People who join this universe already have one or more life experiences, sometimes even a personal volunteer experience. And to enable them to acquire new skills or to better understand the culture of the organization, the transmission of expertise, coming from the trainers at the heart of associations, is essential. With volunteering, it is above all a question of human and social commitment, from which certain postures arise that you must be able to develop and master.

Dispersed over an entire territory, volunteers, actors in the field, must benefit from personalized learning to meet major social, health, environmental challenges, etc. Learning must be able to take place wherever they are, according to their availability.

Answering the numerous questions of your volunteers as soon as they arrive is a lot of work. The key is to allow them to adopt an adequate posture (very different from that of employees) and a perspective adjusted to the needs of your structure. The volunteer must understand what pushes him or her to act and the goals to be achieved in order to motivate his or her commitment in a lasting way.

This is why it is essential to use Digital Learning. Yes, but how?

Didask's pedagogical approach propels the development of your learners' skills, so that they can concretely mobilize their learning, regardless of their missions or geographical location.

Thanks to Didask, your volunteers don't waste time and focus on what matters most. In addition, Didask's granular approach allows you to sequence learning to go quickly, without compromising on the educational quality of your content, while adapting to everyone's schedule.

A Digital Learning solution at the service of human skills

The Didask e-learning tool allows you to target the mistakes made by your learners, making them question their behaviors and practices, in order to adjust or transform them in order to achieve the desired change of state. You do not transmit theoretical knowledge, but human skills such as empathy and kindness, so that volunteers can support the audiences for whom their missions or actions are intended. The format of the Didask solution, offers interactive simulation exercises. Associations can thus immerse their volunteers in situations close to their daily lives, their specific sector of activity or their own codes.
