🎤From craftsmanship in mind and hands to a modern learning organization with Jeanine Habraken, Christine Blok, Ruben Ottens and Abe Ten Brinck from Royal SMIT

How do you build an L&D organization in a technical environment where knowledge is largely implicit and spread across experienced employees?

In this session, we demonstrate how FLOWSPARKS plays a central role at Royal Smit Transformers in structuring, capturing, and making accessible more than 110 years of expertise. We will walk you through our approach, from establishing a solid learning foundation to developing concrete learning solutions.

We then take a closer look at our operations training curriculum. Here, technicians work purposefully on essential skills through a combination of online learning, hands-on practice, and assessment. Everything is integrated into a structured program within FLOWSPARKS, where learning and working come together, enabling technicians to develop into skilled professionals in practice.

🎤Learning in the flow of work - Self-directed learning: a (new) reality at work? with Mieke Blatter and Olaf Donders

In this interactive session, we will inspire each other on the importance of self-directed learning, often referred to as on-demand learning. Learning where, when, and how it suits the learner is gaining increasing attention within organizations.

Through statements and direct interaction, you will engage with common challenges related to on-demand learning. Olaf and Mieke will share insights, experiences, and examples of self-directed learning. By exchanging both experiences and reflections, you will discover how valuable it is to learn from one another.

After the session, you will receive a SMARTMAGAZINE with the key insights, ideas, and tips that emerged during the session. An open and interactive session for anyone interested in exploring how to facilitate learning in the daily flow of work. Relatable and inspiring.
