Corporate services have established a certain niche at Iðan. This involves industry leaders visiting companies in their field. During these visits, Iðan's course offerings are reviewed, customized courses are offered, the possibilities available through the 'Training Manager for Loan' program are introduced, and the assessment of prior learning is discussed. Suggestions for new courses from staff and managers are recorded in an idea bank, and efforts are made to meet such requests. The visits have also been used to share the knowledge and experience of companies with others in the same industry by recording podcasts and educational videos.
With a Training Manager for Hire, you can put your staff's training and education on a structured path. As the name suggests, companies get a loaned training manager/consultant who specialises in workplace education. The consultant analyses the training needs of the staff in collaboration with managers and employees. Based on this analysis, a training plan is developed that lays the foundation for targeted continuing education for employees.
Companies that pay vocational training fees to Iðan Education Centre, Landsmennt, Starfsafl, Rafiðnaðarskólinn, the Vocational Training Fund for Commercial and Office Workers (SVS), the Commercial Training Fund, or the Icelandic Foremen's Union can receive a grant for a Training Manager for Hire.
If a company requests a Training Manager for Hire, participation in the cost of this service will reduce the company's eligibility for training grants in accordance with the maximum amount the company can apply for.
Companies can apply for a grant from Iðan on their own or in collaboration with other companies, educational providers and/or trade unions that are members of Iðan, via the website attin.is.
