Fifty, a digital training based on practices

For adults in general and workers in particular, the practice-based training makes it possible to achieve better results compared to more theoretical approaches. In this context, Fifty offers an innovative and effective training path, while respecting the requirements of the current skills development plan.

Principles and benefits of practice-based training

As its name suggests, its main characteristic is to offer experiential learning. It is a question of acquiring the know-how necessary to carry out an activity, by experimenting with the various problems associated with this activity. In this context, each problem is treated several times, from different angles, in order to master the response. Thus, during a practice-based training, the learner is directly put in a situation to exercise the targeted know-how.

This training is therefore different from the case study, which is limited to the practical observation of theoretical knowledge acquired previously. In direct learning by doing, people are real actors, and the mistakes they make feed into an experience that serves to build lasting know-how in each of them.

This method is particularly interesting in andragogy, especially with regard to the training of workers. Indeed, unlike children, adults need to be anchored in their experiences and needs. As a result, they learn and retain more easily through practice. In the context of on-the-job training, for example, the acquisition of new skills must meet specific professional objectives and remain linked to the functions performed at the time of the training.

La practice-based training also makes it possible to comply with the skills development plan, which requires companies to improve the skills of employees using fewer resources than before. Indeed, the company is responsible for the training costs, and the apprenticeship must take place during working hours. Experiential learning in the workplace allows employees to remain productive while ensuring their skills development.

Fifty, a practice-based learning platform

For professionals wishing to set up a practical training more adapted to the needs of employees and the company, Fifty represents an innovative digital platform that aims for efficiency. This device includes a list of micro-actions to be performed each day. However, not everyone can do the standard activities. Artificial intelligence (AI) makes it possible to individualize each career path so that each employee can develop their skills in a personalized way.

As practice-based training, Fifty aims to actively develop the technical and human skills of learners. In this context, it is important to initiate behavioral changes in order to fully integrate the know-how acquired. More precisely, the acquisition of skills results in the implementation of automation in the treatment of professional problems.

This change is achieved through the Nudge approach, a method aimed at “gently” encouraging behaviors to achieve better performances. This approach excludes constraints and sanctions, and aims to effectively inspire the subjects concerned to adopt a positive attitude that is in line with the objectives sought.
