World’s largest corporate training centre Indian outsourcing firm, TCS, is setting up the world’s largest corporate learning and development centre. When completed, the proposed TCS Learning Campus will have capacity to train 15,000 professionals at one time and 50,000 professionals annually.

The new development will be located on a 97-acre property in the Technopark area of Thiruvananthapuram, on India’s south coast. The campus will be built over an area of 6.1 million square feet and feature residential accommodation for professionals and faculty at the centre.

The facility is designed to train “India’s next generation of engineers and professionals,” TCS says. “The new learning campus is geared to help deliver India’s demographic dividend.”

The company’s learning programmes include its award-winning Initial Learning Programme for fresh graduate trainees, as well as numerous competency and leadership development programmes for middle and senior executives in the company.

TCS’ new training centre will employ new learning concepts such as social collaboration, gamification, and peer-enabled learning methodologies well suited for a new generation of young Indians.

With an employee count of about 300,000, TCS is India’s largest private sector employer and it spends over 15 million hours on learning and development programmes for its employees every year.

Job skills still lacking Europe’s young people lack important work skills, despite record levels of unemployment, a report by the US-based consultancy giant McKinsey has found.

In its study, “Education to Employment”, McKinsey noted that 27% of firms reported that they had left a vacancy unfilled over the past 12 months because they could not find anyone with the right skills.

Teamwork

Simplifying training across the country 2014 will start with a much simpler vocational training system that is easier for New Zealand employers, trainees and educators to navigate.

Instead of the 39 separate industry training organisations, there are now only 14 Industry Training Organisations (ITOs).

This smaller number of generally larger scale organisations means that each can provide a better service to trainees and employers. There is now, for example, just one ITO for the primary sector – down from seven ITOs three years ago.

The number of qualifications at the vocational level has also been reduced. There were 4,610 separate qualifications at Levels 1 to 6 at the beginning of 2011. This has been reduced by 63% so far to less than 1,750 by the end of last year. The current targeted review of qualifications seeks to have reduce that figure to around 1,300 by the end of this year.

“We had a huge spaghetti of qualifications at sub-degree level in this country,” said Tertiary Education, Skills and Employment Minister, Steven Joyce. “It was difficult for learners to decide when and how to study, and difficult for employers to understand the nature and quality of the different qualifications.

“One of the great things about the new system is that the same qualification will be available for study in different learning environments so that the learner can move from provider-based training to work-based training as their employment circumstances change,” he added.

“Employers will be confident that learners who graduate from different training institutes have been trained in the same qualification. This makes it much easier to understand the skills and competencies they are expected to have.”

L&D for L&D specialists

Better prospects for MBAs More than three quarters of employers who aim to recruit business school graduates expect to sustain or further boost their hiring from this year. Furthermore, more than half (56%) of firms around the world are plotting to raise base salaries for recent MBA graduate, either at (45%) or above (11%) the rate of inflation.

These findings are based on a year-end poll of business school employers by the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC).

The poll of 211 employers in 33 countries serves as a barometer of 2014’s job market. The respondents comprise of one fifth of the Fortune 100 list of firms, and nearly 50 Fortune 500 firms.

“Actual hiring for 2013 and projected hiring for 2014 are much improved from a few years ago, despite persistent uncertainty in the global economy,” Rebecca Estrada,

GMAC survey manager, said.

“In addition, between 45% and 58% of employers plan to increase annual base salaries at or above the rate of inflation, another indicator that demand for talent remains strong.”

The poll also uncovered the in-demand skills for graduate talent.

A vast majority expected their new recruits to possess highly refined interpersonal skills (97%) and the competency to utilise data to make decisions (98%).

Some 88% of employers also revealed to GMAC that they were keen to formulate internship places for graduate business students.

A recent study has revealed that 87.2% of IT professionals in the UK feel classroom-based learning is more beneficial than self-study when it comes to exam preparation.

Firebrand Training’s research took opinion data from 952 IT professionals. When quizzed on why self study was inferior to classroom based learning, 59.5% of respondents said that self study resources were not comprehensive enough to prepare sufficiently for a professional certification.

The higher chance of distraction and absence of a certified instructor were also mooted as key reasons,

with 75.8% and 71.5% of respondents picking these two factors respectively.

“At Firebrand, we don’t believe that self-study alone is a viable method of learning. The compelling results from this survey show we are far from alone in this opinion,” Firebrand Training co-founder and commercial director, Robert Chapman said.

Learning and development (L&D) practitioners are determined to further enhance their personal skills and expand their scope, according to a survey by learning content specialist Video Arts.

The survey also noted some of the key challenges facing the L&D landscape, with more than one in five professionals claiming they suffer from a lack of motivation or stress, and are keen to switch to another job.

The survey asked 55 L&D professionals what they would like to see in their line of work in 2014.

Forty-four percent said they wanted to reach out to more employees, 42% claimed they wanted to enhance their skills and use of technology for training, and another 42% wanted to provide more informal educational options to employees.

Some 40% mentioned wanting to build on their leadership skills, and 35% were keen to enhance the manner in which they measured the return on investment from learning.

The survey further quizzed L&D practitioners of their personal new year ambitions. Some 67% said they wanted to further develop their skills in 2014, 33% said they wanted to be more innovative, and 29% wanted to improve their productivity specifically.

“On one hand, our survey suggests that L&D practitioners recognise that they can do more to enhance their own productivity and to make better use of technology to reach more people with learning,” Martin Addison, CEO of Video Arts said.

“However, the findings also show a flipside for L&D, with almost one in three practitioners saying they lack motivation, 27% experiencing a high level of stress, and more than a fifth wanting to change jobs.”

Executive education in Singapore is likely to remain competitive for some time, given the ease of entry into the market.

“We find that corporate clients are no longer looking to vendors for just training, but more for long-term partnerships,” says Nilanjan Sen, Associate Dean of Nanyang Executive Education. “There is an expectation for greater involvement, engagement, and customisation to their business world.”

In general, staff that are trained regularly will feel more appreciated by their employers, which translates into better attitudes towards their roles and ultimately an increase in productivity, says Emil Dereinda, Principal of the SSTC School for Further Education.

Also, an increasing number of people are becoming more familiar with social networking and mobile applications, something training providers should be incorporating into their programmes. “Institutions who provide training for busy professionals should tap into this trend to provide a blended teaching approach in their training,” says Dereinda.

“Face-to-face sessions can be complimented with synchronous or asynchronous eLearning sessions to allow participants to take part in these sessions without having to physically be present in a classroom.”

Identify traning goal According to Ikhlaq Sidhu, founder and chief scientist of the Fung Institute for Engineering Leadership at the University of California, Berkley, executive education courses tend to not be accountable. Sometimes the courses can be “interesting” or “fun”, but in the next week, its business as usual, he warns.

To ensure executive education programmes actually translate back into high productivity and real business growth, HR needs to do some thorough pre-planning.

Firstly, it should be able to clearly identify the skills gaps that exist in the current talent pool, and be able to identify the best person to be trained to fill each one. Alternatively, organisations can fill their gaps by hiring new staff.

“A pre-course evaluation should be done prior to

the commencement of the course to ensure that the trainee knows the objective of their participation in the course,” says Dereinda.

Training needs should also be matched with the company’s business goals. “Individual learning objectives and outcomes should always be set and agreed upon by staff and line managers prior to the training programme,” says Sen. For example, companies regularly engage the National University of Singapore (NUS) to develop customised executive education programmes with specific learning objectives and business outcomes.

“Most of these programmes incorporate follow-up modules, projects, or activities that link directly to the organisations’ achievement of strategic and tactical goals,” says Nigel Yeung, Executive Director of NUS Executive Education.

As a post-training intervention, HR can follow up with staff and line managers to assess any changes in performance and motivation. “Such direct engagement with business units assists in developing relationships and maintaining the links between training and business requirements,” says Sen. “Several of our custom programmes include firm-specific action learning projects that are subsequently implemented in respective organisations,” he adds. “Our executive degree programmes also include live consulting projects when participants work on real challenging problems faced by their organisations.”

New for HR SSTC School for Further Education will be rolling out a Master of Science in Educational HR Development in partnership with an American university in the third quarter of 2014.

The programme will use a blended teaching approach where participants will only need to be physically present in class over one or two weekends for each module.

In between face-to-face sessions, participants will interact with their US-based teaching faculty through online tools.

“This way, participants do not necessarily have to be based in Singapore,” says Emil Dereinda, Principal of SSTC School for Further Education. “They can participate as long as they can fly in to attend the weekend classes once or twice a month.”

companies, industries, and geographies.

“As such, the readings, materials and cases are typically chosen to reflect principles that can be applied across organisations,” Yeung explains. “On such programmes, participants apply learning insights from such a rich environment of peers to their own organisations’ context and circumstances.”

Ultimately, the added context and right mix of case studies will provide the necessary relevance.

“Also, having a multi-disciplinary approach with principles and parallels that can be applied across industries will help in creating programmes that are relevant,” says Sen. “Training providers can build bridges with the business community, allowing us to appreciate their challenges and identify both key research areas and relevant revisions in our curriculum for various programmes.”

Going massive Customised content Many times, case methods and other generic materials within executive education courses are not relevant to the participating students, warns Sidhu. He says these inferior courses provide very few targeted insights for the executives involved.

“Picking useful cases requires significant industry experience-based judgment and they must be supplemented with additional insights,” says Sidhu.

“Many of these programmes simply do not have ways to address the actual context, strategy, and threats that their firm’s executives are facing.”

One of the important aspects of executive education is to be able to adapt materials to the needs of the participant through customised programmes. Case studies can also be developed from real issues and incidents in the organisation’s history or industry sector.

“Knowing the background and profile of the participants is very important to enable the trainer to prepare training materials, cite examples and deliver a workshop that is most relevant to the needs of the participants,” Dereinda explains.

“This can be done through information obtained from a well-designed registration form,” he says.

“Knowing the level of proficiency and knowledge of the participants also helps in ensuring that the materials are delivered at the right difficulty or complexity level.”

Participants who attend open enrolment programmes, however, should be aware that their fellow participants will be from different

Business increasingly gravitating towards technology and executive training is no different.

Massive open online courses (MOOCs) are now becoming more popular among senior-level students.

Institutions such as Nanyang Executive Education recognise this trend and are starting to explore a hybrid approach in some programmes. “In other colleges and units within Nanyang Technological University (NTU), the university is already offering online courses in biotechnology, physics, economics, and life sciences,” says Sen. Many studies have indeed shown that the use of social media and mobile applications in education is increasing. “We may not be ready for a full online course but a blended teaching approach would be able to provide a good balance between the ‘personal touch’ of a face-to-face teaching approach and the flexibility of an online or eLearning approach,” says Dereinda.

For its part-time programmes, SSTC says it will gradually begin to provide a blended teaching approach in 2014, utilising a web-based learning management system.

While the verdict on MOOCs is still being debated, NUS has started to offer a number of these programmes through partners such as Coursera, an education company that courses online for anyone to take, for free.

“Whilst things may change, our experience is that some types of programmes work better with face-to-face interaction, and some with technology assistance,” says Yeung. “As NUS executive

The National University of Singapore (NUS) runs a Value Creation: Managing Innovation programme, a General Management programme, a Marketing programme, and customised executive programmes taught completely in Mandarin.

education programmes are designed for leaders and senior managers, we are mindful that learning is not just limited to content and readings.”

“Our participants learn and gain from the high level debates, discussions, experience sharing and projects that are possible only when they are in a class of equally senior and motivated fellow participants.”

Managing ROI Companies view executive education as an investment to develop the human capital needed to meet their strategic goals.

“Subsidies and support from the government goes a long way in helping companies truly achieve a return on investment from sending staff on executive education programmes,” says Sen. Tapping on government funding such as the Skills Development Fund (SDF) Grant is indeed an attractive motivation for companies to send their staff out for training.

“For certifiable courses which may take a longer duration to complete, courses that enable staff to attend the programme outside of their working hours minimise the impact on their productivity while they are undergoing the training,” Dereinda advises.

Executive education providers typically have volume or alumni rates. Companies can consider building long-term relationships with established providers to benefit from the better rates, says Yeung. “For companies with large development requirements, customised development programmes may be a better way to manage costs,” he adds. “It can also be more cost effective in terms of travel and accommodation as instructors can conduct the programmes onsite or within an organisation’s home country.”

Even the Prince needs executive education Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, will be one of the most famous executive education students this year.

He is expected to study agricultural management at Cambridge University for 10 weeks to prepare himself for a future role overseeing the Duchy of Cornwall estate.

This £763 million (US$1.3 billion) 130,000-acre portfolio of land, property and investments will be passed down to William when his father, the current Prince of Wales becomes King of England.

The course has been designed specifically for William by the University of Cambridge’s Programme for Sustainability Leadership. It aims to provide an understanding of contemporary issues affecting agricultural business and rural communities in the UK. On top of private study time and essay writing, The Duke of Cambridge will spend around 20 hours a week with university teaching staff and other students in lectures, seminars, and supervisions across a range of subjects, including geography, economics and land economy. He will also spend time out in the field on large landed estates.

Prince William will be a full-time student until mid-March.

Professional Development The new year signals an opportune time for HR to take stock of their organisations’ learning gaps and come up with new and relevant programmes that will keep employees energised and inspired.

According to the Bersin 2014 Predictions report, one of the biggest challenges facing companies globally is a shortage of up-to-date, technical and professional skills. Innovations such as electric cars, new sources of energy, software-driven products and services, and regulatory changes are all driving the need for new skills.

The new year will also see the “training department” being renamed as “capability development,” the Bersin report predicts. As it takes years to develop leaders and functional experts, the report urges companies to focus on building global supply chains for capabilities. This logistics approach to HR should ideally spot gaps before they appear and develop people over time to deepen their skills.

With this in mind, the report says that companies need to partner with universities, establish apprentice programmes, create developmental assignments, and focus on continuous learning to attract the best and brightest.

In Singapore, providers such as SIM Professional Development are focusing their professional development courses more on bringing experienced executives and management professionals back.

These senior leaders are re-inventing themselves and contributing constructively and innovatively to organisational business goals. “Leadership training with coaching elements is becoming more popular to cater to the sophistication needed in developing human capabilities in an uncertain global economy, says Peggy Lee, Director, SIM Professional Development. “Other important and relevant short duration programmes involve the provision of know-how in talent management and retention, building of employee loyalty and labour

productivity, as well as the management skills needed to manage a multi-generational workforce,” According to Rexanna Kok, Vice President, Kaplan Professional, most organisations are still keen on embarking on soft skill training where they are able to see an almost immediate effect or improvement at the workplace.

Benefits of professional development Employee development gives the workforce a good chance to realise its potential and eventually work at the highest possible level, says Kok. “When an employer realises the potential in a staff member, and then sends that employee to class to improve his or her skills, the trained staff will be more willing to work at their best level of ability.”

Apart from the benefit of gaining knowledge, attending professional development courses enable participants to interact and network with peers and ‘like-minded’ people, says Lee of SIM Professional Development.

These platforms also aid learning. For example, SIM Professional’s “The Job of the Chief Executive” (JOCE), programme allows CEOs and top-level managers to spar with other participants and lecturers, and share their experiences. The five-day programme also organises an alumni dinner for past and present participants to come together and share how they have been able to apply the learnings in their day-to-day roles.

Opportunities like these extend the value of training into the long term. “We believe the opportunities provided to the CEOs to interact amongst themselves will provide them with the necessary knowledge and inspiration in bringing their businesses to the next level of competence and viability,” says Lee. Courses run by the British Council are fun and interactive, allowing participants the opportunity to practice new skills, says Simon Carrie, IT Coordinator, British Council. “Participants leave refreshed and energised, and keen to put into practice the new tools and knowledge they’ve learnt back in the workplace. Our public workshops have a broad range of participants from many diverse sectors in Singapore so it’s also a great opportunity for people to share ideas and new ways of working.”

Popular programmes In today’s highly competitive environment, attracting, developing and retaining talent remains a key challenge for most organisations, says Lee. “It is the ‘right’ people – not just people – who are a company’s most important asset,” she says.

“Therefore, training programmes that cater to the

FEATURE

development and retention of key talents within an organisation will be much sought after by businesses.”

At SIM Professional Development, 2012 and the first half of 2013 saw a slight resurgence in the market for programmes related to people management skills – especially in the subject areas of ‘communications’ and ‘change management’.

Leadership and general management programmes were much sought after as well. “Popular programmes for this level generally centre on supervisory management, cross-cultural management, productivity and innovation categories,” Lee says. “We foresee this trend continuing in 2014 and beyond, given the heightened need by organisations to attract and retain their talent pool,” Lee says.

According to Kok, Kaplan Professional is seeing a spike in the number of participants keen on leadership-based programmes focused on areas such as empowering leaders, championing change, and team performance building.

Over at the British Council, there is very high demand for writing skills courses, especially for more senior level employees. “Traditionally, more executive level staff come to writing workshops as organisations recognise that good business writing is a key skill and the foundation of a successful organisation. With managers setting the example

Business Advisors Programme by SPRING Singapore Unsure about where your organisation’s talent gaps lie and what skillsets your employees would benefit from? The Business Advisors Programme by SPRING Singapore could help.

The programme matches qualified professional business advisors to small and medium enterprise (SME) projects.

Companies can draw from the advisors’ experience, expertise and business contacts, to improve their own businesses and processes.

In one example, an SME tapped onto an advisor’s extensive experience as a HR director for a large multinational to improve its understanding of recruitment and retention strategies for key staff. The relationship also helped plug gaps in the SME’s HR compensation and performance management processes.

As of May 2011, Singapore Institute of Management (SIM) has been appointed by SPRING Singapore to administer the Business Advisors Programme. The advisory projects typically last up to six months with specific deliverables, and the advisors’ fees are cofunded between the SME and SPRING Singapore.

for their staff, it’s important they can walk the talk,” says Carrie.

Another trend observed by the British Council is greater demand for programmes that help participants work more effectively with their colleagues, says Carrie. Its “Handling Difficult Colleagues and Customers” course is particularly popular. “Participants attending this workshop often have individual problem situations at work they find difficult to resolve,” he says.

“These are encouraging trends for us as we see people taking a more proactive approach to their personal professional development by identifying long term skills that will be useful throughout their career,” adds Carrie.

THE RIGHT FIT When it comes to choosing the right professional development programme, it is often helpful to begin with the end in mind.

The trigger for a training intervention is usually a performance gap (based on current or future capability requirements) that a particular employee has, resulting in areas for improvement, says Peggy Lee, Director, SIM Professional Development “This performance gap can be due to what we can simplify into ‘knowledge’, ‘skills’ or ‘attitudinal’-related causes,” Lee explains.

Once this causal factor has been identified, the next step is to identify the appropriate intervention to help overcome this performance gap. For example, an employee with high potential identified by senior management for succession planning, may lack the financial know-how required in a more strategic and general role due to their specialised technical expertise.

“However, to simply send him for a formal financial accreditation might be overkill. In such cases, a learning and development business partner within the organisation might help the employee to jointly assess and identify how this performance gap can be overcome,” Lee says Lee also adds a word of caution: While an appropriate training programme, developed and delivered by good trainers, can make a real difference in covering some performance gaps, it is important to recognise that not all performance gaps can be effectively or efficiently covered through training alone.

“Some performance gaps are better addressed through other interventions, including organisational development.”
