Training the Trainers

 



On 28th September, Inova Consultancy held the final ‘Training the Trainers’ session with the Create Future consortium in preparation for training sessions which are currently being piloted with the project’s primary target group: support workers, career advisors, mentors and teachers who support people with special needs or those who face a double disadvantage. The use of SMART goals and learning about using strengths to tackle weaknesses proved to be very popular amongst our facilitators in training. Not only was this session a great opportunity for training and reflection on our own practice but it also enabled us to develop further understanding within the partnership and ultimately build upon our team morale. Read below to learn more about the 3 coaching models that are currently being piloted in Finland at the LIVE foundation, with pilots soon to begin in Spain, Portugal and the UK. 


  1. Mentoring Circles™: Think-Reflect-Act


Inova’s Circles™ are an innovative form of personal development training that involves groups of 4-5 mentees meeting with a facilitator for 3-4 sessions, each lasting up to 4 hours. Our trainers, who will act as facilitators for the pilot training sessions, learnt how to enable their mentees to use peer-support techniques to build upon their own and others’ confidence and self-efficacy.


  1. Strengths-Based Coaching


Strengths-based coaching can expand the value of an individual’s strengths and teach them how to best use them in their employability search. This method of coaching helps the trainer/coach/carer and client identify and discover how to use their strengths more consciously to increase their success. This method of coaching helps to enable our clients to realise their full potential to boost their employability and development of their knowledge and skills. 


  1. NLP (Neuro-Linguistic-Programming)


NLP is focused on the connections between neurological processes, language and behavioural patterns that have been learned through life experiences. By making small changes, it is possible to harness these behavioural patterns in order to achieve specific goals in life. The trainers were equipped on how to use Neuro-Linguistic programming (NLP) techniques with their clients and help them to understand the mind-body connection.



Stay tuned on the Create Future Blog and Facebook page to hear about how each organisation's pilot training went!

About disability inclusion

Disability inclusion is about creating an inclusive workplace where people feel welcome and safe and where they are seen, valued, and appreciated for what they bring to the table, their expertises, and experiences. Disability inclusion in the workplace means understanding and addressing the causes of all these types of exclusion.  Create Future created a toolkit for diversity where the important points we have to have in mind to have a more diverse workplace are: 1) understanding the concept of diversity, 2) being aware of the unconscious bias, 3) diversity management, 4) guidance in the workplace, and 5) the benefits of diversity.  Once these important aspects are integrated and use in the workplace, it creates an environment with diversity to successfully lead a diverse work community, make a place safe, and open for everyone without exclusions. It is important to continue educating the community, learning the best ways to change, improve, and train to be a leader and example for oth
