Training-time management in SMEs: Optimising replacement of workers in training, or organising in-company flexible training

Objective

OBJECTIVES
SMEs have a small number of staff members and it is often difficult for employees to take time off for training purposes. Systems have been developed to deal with the problem of releasing employees undergoing vocational training. The objective of the partners of the project is to analyse the systems which make it possible for employees of SMEs to take part in training programmes and to transfer these systems, in the framework of concrete experiments, to 17 companies from the partner countries.

ACTIVITIES
Firstly, the practices already implemented in France (AGEFOS-PME introduced an open training system for in-company tutors - or mentors/coaches) and in Denmark (the Danish "job rotation scheme" replaces the employee undergoing training with an unemployed person who is trained in advance) will be examined. The Danish system will then be tested at 5 French companies whilst the open tutor training programme will be tested at 5 Danish and 5 Italian companies, with each of the two systems being tested respectively at 2 Spanish companies.

PRODUCTS
- Methodological tools designed and disseminated with the support of the social partners, with the aim of guaranteeing the success of the experiments: tutor workbooks, and guides to replacing the employee undergoing training with an unemployed person.
- Production of a compendium with case files relating to the experiments carried out.
