Experience
Learning isn’t just about sitting in a classroom. We learn a lot from on-the-job experiences, some estimates are as high as 70%. Think back to how you’ve learnt to do something - there’s a good chance it involves making some mistakes and making best guesses in a dynamic environment.
At The Prince’s Trust, we provide the support for colleagues to learn from their experiences in a positive way, including our Continuous Review and Development process, and the opportunity to debrief and review on-the-job experiences with their line manager in order to maximise their learning.
Exposure
Being exposed to new ideas is essential to expanding your horizons. Human beings are social animals and we learn a lot from each other, so at The Prince’s Trust, we make sure we maximise the opportunities for our colleagues to learn from each other.
From opportunities to shadow colleagues in other departments to working on and contributing to interesting projects, there’s always something our colleagues can do to broaden their knowledge and skills.
They can even access a coach or mentor to help them with specific development goals or lend the benefit of their expert knowledge to support them with a particular task.
Education
Educating yourself is everything that you would consider ‘traditional’ learning or training. We have some content and courses that are mandatory for everyone, but it doesn’t stop there - there is also plenty of fantastic optional content to choose from.
We offer formal learning to our colleagues to upskill them to work safely and with maximum impact with the young people we support. We also have programmes to develop our managers and leaders, starting with those who aspire to be our leaders of the future. In addition, a number of opportunities are available to develop personal effectiveness.
And if we don’t offer what our colleagues need, support is available for external training opportunities.
