What is a training system?
A training system refers to all the means put in place to enable the acquisition of professional skills. These can be face-to-face, distance, work-study training or even self-training via specialized platforms.
The objective is to adapt the skills of employees to changes in the job market and to the needs of businesses. These systems are often supervised by specialized organizations and can be financed by various sources, thus guaranteeing accessibility to all profiles, whether from the private sector or from the public service.
Why use a training device?
Investing in a training system offers numerous advantages for both the employee and the company:
- Skill improvement: employees acquire new knowledge and strengthen their professional expertise, which makes them more successful in their current job and promotes their career development.
- Employability and career development: one continuing education allows you to remain competitive on the job market, to access new professional opportunities such as a promotion, or even to start a professional retraining in another sector.
- Adaptation to innovations: businesses can train their employees in the latest technologies and methodologies, in particular by integrating tools based on Instructional AI, to improve the effectiveness and relevance of learning.
- Optimizing performance: a well-trained workforce is more efficient, more motivated and contributes directly to business growth by promoting innovation and responsiveness to changes in the labor market. A skills assessment can also help guide employees towards the right training actions and define a professional development plan adapted to their needs.
The various training systems
Schemes initiated by the employee
- Personal Training Account (CPF): It is a personal account that allows an employee or job seeker to accumulate training rights throughout their career in order to follow qualifying and certifying training courses.
- Professional Transition Project (PTP): finances a long training course for an employee wishing to retrain or develop professionally without loss of remuneration.
- Validation of Acquired Experience (VAE): allows workers to have their professional experience recognized by a diploma or an official certification without going through traditional training.
Schemes initiated by the employer
- Skills Development Plan: device set up by the company to organize internal or external training courses for their employees and meet the strategic needs of the organization.
- Pro-A (Retraining or Promotion through work-study): system combining training and professional activity to promote the internal development of employees by allowing them to acquire a recognized diploma or qualification.
- Professional training contract and apprenticeship contract: work-study courses for young people and adults in the process of retraining, allowing them to obtain a diploma or certification while working in a company.
- OPCOs (Competence Operators): these organizations support companies in financing their vocational training. Each sector of activity has its dedicated OPCO, which covers all or part of the costs associated with training actions.
How do I choose the right training device?
The choice of training device depends on several determining factors:
- Professional goals: Do you want to evolve in your company, change jobs, obtain a certification or simply improve your current skills?
- Duration and availability: some devices require a commitment over several months or years, while others offer flexibility to learn at your own pace.
- Financing: check the available aid such as CPF, financing by the company, public subsidies or coverage by OPCOs.
- Learning mode: training courses can be provided in person, in e-learning, in blended learning or in a work situation.
