The Power of Training
The Power of Training
Why Ongoing Professional Development is Key.
In today’s fast-paced world, continuous learning isn’t just an option—it’s a necessity. Training is the foundation of professional growth, but without a structured approach to ongoing development, much of what is learned can quickly fade. Research shows that, on average, only 25% of training content is retained post-course. This startling statistic highlights the need for a strategic implementation plan to ensure knowledge is effectively applied in real-world scenarios.
The Challenge of Retaining Knowledge Post-Training
Traditional training programs are essential for building foundational knowledge, but the reality is that knowledge retention diminishes rapidly if not reinforced. Without ongoing engagement, the valuable insights gained from training sessions can become lost, reducing their impact on long-term professional growth. This is why Vital Learning Edge has developed a structured post-training support system to bridge this gap.
Guided Implementation Programs: Turning Knowledge into Practice
At Vital Learning Edge, we recognise that training should not end when the course does. Our Guided Implementation Programs provide a structured framework for professionals to actively apply their learning to real-world projects. Currently available for TechRisk Management and ISO 27001, these programs include guided action sessions that allow participants to:
- Reinforce key concepts through hands-on application.
- Work on organisation-specific projects with expert support (backed by Vital Advisory).
- Discuss real-world challenges and solutions with peers and mentors.
- Receive structured support to ensure successful implementation.
By integrating our Guided Implementation Programs into professional development plans, individuals and organisations can maximise their training investments, ensuring that new knowledge translates into meaningful, practical outcomes. Download our brochure here for more information.
