The training process is divided into four stages
Each of the Connect+ training projects is preceded by a preliminary analysis. This step ensures that the workshop takes into account many factors that determine the specificity of our clients' industry. Training programs consider training needs, economic context, industry specificity, advancement level, group specificity, and company strategy.
Based on the initial analysis, a training program is prepared, and lecturers are proposed. Together with the client, we determine both the substantive and organizational details of the project.
Connect+ training sessions are conducted either at the client's premises or as an off-site training. The choice depends on the needs and capabilities of the client, although our many years of experience indicate the greater effectiveness of trainings held outside the company's headquarters.
The training process concludes with a joint assessment conducted with the client. Its purpose is to verify whether the program objectives have been achieved and to gauge the level of satisfaction among the participants.
