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.

The Erasmus+ funded “Create Future” project has organised pilot training for trainers in partner organisations.   In Finland, at the LIVE Foundation, the pilot training took place in November 2021.  At the beginning of the project, Inova (one of the partners) designed the training package to meet the needs of partner organisations to develop the capacity and methodological skills of guidance/coaching staff in guidance work.  The Pilot Training was divided into the three Coaching Models covering the following topics:  4.11.2021, 1. session: Think, Act, Reflect Questioning Technique SMART goals 17.11 2021, 2. session: Strengths-Based Coaching Self efficacy Strengths and employment  24.11.2021, 3. session: Neurolinguistic Programming Neuroplasticity Cultivating good habits  The training package was full of relevant and interesting topics that could be useful to trainers and coaches across the Live organisation. The number of participants in the live training was disappointingly low. On th
