Innov’Emploi: stepping up the digitalization of CIRAD's training offering
In 2022, CIRAD is benefiting from the Innov’Emploi regional mechanism launched by the Occitanie Regional Council in the aim of improving training organizations by means of innovation and experiments in response to new requirements.
After a diagnostic phase, an action plan centring on digitalizing what is available in the way of training was drafted and is being implemented by bizness, who will be working with our teaching teams for a full year.
CIRAD training staff who are keen to innovate, familiarize themselves with new practices and build their skills in terms of digitalization will be participating in a range of workshops (webinars, training courses, tests of new training modules, production workshops, etc.).
The regulatory framework imposed by the 2018 "Avenir professionnel" (professional future) law, changing teaching practices and the digital transition accelerated by the Covid-19 health crisis have all had consequences for training organizations. By means of this novel, personalized mechanism, CIRAD intends to provide long-term support for changes to its training operations in terms of digitalization.
