Study on the needs of workplace trainers
Top Ausbildungsbetriebe (TAB) awarded this mandate to SFUVET for the purpose of collecting data about the situation and continuing training needs of workplace trainers in three linguistic regions of Switzerland. The data collected will be used to design a range of relevant and practical continuing training courses to deepen the knowledge and skills acquired by workplace trainers during their initial 40-hour training courses at TAB.
The study, supported bei the TOP Training Company Foundation (TAB) focuses on the situation of workplace trainers (how they were chosen for this position, their motivation, their working conditions), their views on the quality of training received and their future training needs. The study consists of both a qualitative and quantitative phase. The first phase entails a series of interviews with workplace trainers, company owners/managers and apprentices in the German-, French- and Italian-speaking regions of Switzerland. The aim of the first phase is to gain a better understanding of the day-to-day life of workplace trainers and to assess their continuing training needs. The second phase of the study is larger in scope and focuses on identifying relevant course content, methodology and preferred training formats. This will enable us to determine exactly where interests lie so that a targeted range of continuing training courses can be designed.
