Induction & skills development

Induction

The induction programme “HI Welcome” was created to facilitate the arrival of new staff members. It is designed to help them acquire the common foundation of HI references, situate their role within the organisation, and the meaning of their commitment.

This programme is made up of two modules:

The "online" module

This training course presents HI's history, missions, challenges and policies in an interactive, user-friendly way. All new members of the team, including interns, are asked to complete the modules on the HI remote training platform, ideally within a month of joining the organisation.

The "live" module

This module takes the form of a one-day training course in Lyon or Brussels. Participants must have completed the online module. It is open to all headquarters and national association staff members on permanent contracts or temporary contracts of longer than 6 months, as well as new international staff members.

Skills development

Online

HI Learn & Go is our remote training platform.

This is where all HI team members (staff, interns, members of the board of trustees, ambassadors, branch managers, auditors etc.) can access online training courses targeting a range of skills, with a specific focus on digital skills.
These training courses are developed by our in-house experts or external partners.

Live

Several professional training modules allow our staff members to:

understand and take on board the organisation’s operating procedures
develop connections with resource people at headquarters and their peers.

Our managers are offered training modules to support them in developing their management skills.

Personal development training courses, specifically in stress management, are also organised by our skills development unit in collaboration with our psychologists.

Creation of training courses

As well as developing our staff members’ skills, the skills development unit also works with internal experts to create face-to-face and remote training courses tailored to meet the needs of the organisation’s projects and strategy.
