The health crisis of recent years has upset the professional retraining aspirations of employees. - but to retrain, an action plan must first be studied, and the question of vocational training arises. But to what extent does vocational training facilitate retraining? We take stock for you!
What is a “professional retraining”?
Professional retraining involves change and redefine your professional trajectory : it may be a question of changing jobs or status more or less radically (you can for example go from employee to craftsman, from community manager to dog groomer!). In all cases, professional retraining involves following a effective training plan.
But what motivates professional retraining?
The reasons can be diverse and closely linked to each other: need to (re) give meaning to your work, to feel useful, more free...
“In the context of the health crisis, nearly 1 in 5 active people began to wonder about the possibility of a change in their professional life (18%). The main motivations? Need to give meaning to their work, for 58% of these employees, or to meet personal constraints for 31% of them. “(BVA survey, 2020)
But before taking the plunge and embarking on a retraining, start by establishing a personalized skills assessment. It's about highlighting your Hard Skills, your Soft Skills, your educational background, your professional experiences, your hobbies, your passions/interests, etc.
Changing jobs can be studied! You will therefore have to ask yourself the right questions: what are the obstacles to the success of your retraining (on the financial, geographical, etc.) and what are the strengths?
In this sense, Pôle Emploi workshops can help you in your professional retraining to build your training project. It will be a question of supporting you in your thinking and building a project that holds up.
Training: what are the advantages in terms of professional retraining?
Obviously, the main advantage of training for professional retraining consists in qualify for the position you want. But it also has other advantages:
- The financial advantage
Professional retraining can be expensive and hinder some employees in their quest to re-enchant themselves at work, even though the training course can be financed. The Personal Training Account (CPF) is undoubtedly the most popular device in this field.
There is also the Professional Transition Project (PTP) which allows you to keep your position and your salary throughout the duration of the dedicated training related to your retraining.
In addition, Collective Transitions (Transco) are a good opportunity for professional retraining in a profession calledfuture.
The Pro-A device, for its part, concerned low-qualified employees with a diploma lower than bac +3.
Finally, there is the Skills Development Plan (PDF) where a company invests in the training of an employee, who maintains his social protection and his salary!
- Digital learning (online training)
Professional retraining can be facilitated by the Digital learning (or online training).
It has multiple advantages, especially in terms ofMoney saving : there are no trainers to be paid in person, fewer needs in terms of equipment, etc.
The saving of time is also an advantage: no need to travel to follow your courses, reduction in learning time compared to face-to-face, etc.
Also, thanks to e-learning, the learner can choose the pace that suits him in terms of learning time and organization. The constraints related to face-to-face are therefore swept away.
Likewise, it is possible to personalize the learning environment for employees since they are at home, with a potential influence on their productivity.
In addition, the analysis of data provided by training platforms makes it possible to adapt content and courses to stimulate learner engagement. E-learning would even promote your learning performance!
