Vocational training for adults can meet different needs and is not exclusively reserved for jobseekers. In the workplace, it has many advantages for both the employer and the employee. Why follow vocational training? Why set up a training plan for your employees? We tell you everything.

Vocational training

The benefits of vocational training for the employer

Offering vocational training to its employees is a very good thing for the employer. It improves the qualifications of the employees and updates their skills. By following a vocational training course, employees can train themselves while remaining in the company. In this way, the employer gains employee loyalty and a committed image among its employees, who often stay longer in the company. Offering training courses also attracts managers and young employees, who see it as an opportunity to build a career within the same company and have a greater sense of self-confidence.

Being able to obtain new skills is also a motivating factor for employees. They are more productive and adapt more easily to new tasks. Turnover in the company is then limited: trained in new techniques, employees are more competent and enjoy working in a company that cares about enhancing them and increasing their skills.

Why follow vocational training as an employee?

Vocational training is interesting both for the employer who offers it and for the employees who take it. The advantages of vocational training for employees are indeed multiple. We present them to you.
 

Specialise in a specific field

Executive education can lead to the employee specialising in a field of activity. This is an asset for the employee, who can develop competence in a very specific field of activity and become an expert in a targeted area. Vocational training courses to specialise are often lengthy. They can, under certain conditions, be financed by the employer or an organisation, the financing of vocational training being possible in many cases through the Personal Training Account (CPf in french) or the Vocational Transition Account (CTP in french). This may be a validation of acquired experience (VAE), or training provided within the company or by an external provider from a training organisation.
 

Pretending to be promoted internally

Vocational training can also enable the employee to move up in rank and get promoted internally. Employees who choose a training path are generally at the beginning or middle of their career (30 to 45 years old on average) and can thus improve their skills and aim for a higher position. This career development leads to higher pay. As you can see, access to training is sometimes a real career accelerator.

Acquiring a new diploma

Obtaining a new diploma is interesting for internal development, whatever the field of activity. You can acquire a new degree by following a state-validated diploma course. This type of training is a real springboard for the employee's career. Indeed, by developing their knowledge and obtaining a new diploma, they can, as mentioned above, apply for a better position within the company. Diploma courses are also a way of enhancing the employee's skills: an employee who has a perfect command of his field of activity derives great satisfaction from them.
 

Updating your skills

The world of work is constantly changing. Technological advances and changes in working methods are indeed constant, making certain working techniques obsolete. Training to update their skills is therefore essential for employees wishing to remain competitive and efficient during their working hours. This type of training is also strongly recommended by employers: refusing to take it can be detrimental to the employee, who is often unable to perform his duties effectively. Refusal without just cause can even be grounds for dismissal.

Vocational retraining

Follow a vocational training within the framework of a specific professional project can enable the employee to prepare for retraining. This does not automatically imply a change of company: the employee can move to a new position within his current company. However, it is preferable for the employee to request a professional interview with his employer to discuss his training project and to determine whether a change of position is possible in the future.

You have understood: accepting a training offer is beneficial for both the employee and the employer. On the employee's side, the training allows the development of skills, to obtain a new professional qualification, or even to change jobs. It is indispensable for his professional future. The employer, for its part, improves its image and obtains more motivated and competent employees by setting up training actions. It is a solution full of advantages for both parties.
