Training technician; Human resources training specialist

Alongside client companies, these professionals design training and development plans for staff and lay the foundations for monitoring these. Human resources training specialists plan, organise and direct a wide range of training activities adapted to the needs of company's staff (both those who have recently joined the company and those who have been at the company for a significant period of time). Depending on a company's targets, nature and size, the tasks and needs of human resources training can vary significantly: from so-called "on-the-job" training courses, to external courses and training activities. Human resources training specialists are responsible for determining how suitable each of these procedures is, on a case-by-case basis, and subsequently recommend them to the relevant heads of the client companies. They are also responsible for periodically analysing the effectiveness of training programmes.

• Analyse the staff's training needs in line with the company's aims.
  Liaise with the company's human resources managers in order to establish the aims of the training programme.
  Study the profile of the intended recipients of the training to determine the most suitable methodology, techniques and resources to use.
  Integrate the training strategy within the company's quality and knowledge management plans.
• Design the training plan.
  Schedule the training actions that most suit the requirements of the client company.
  Assess the possible training types: in-person, distance (traditional, online learning) and mixed, and determine the most suitable considering the nature of the company, the aims of the training and cost-benefit parameters.
  Seek the most suitable training suppliers for each case (e.g.. English, IT or marketing teachers, etc.). To do so, they call upon training centres or consulting agencies specialising in training.
  As part of the training plan (which is usually drawn up annually), training specialists:
  Set the costs for the training programme.
  Determine the company's training needs (e.g. whether the workers need to learn advanced English or require training in marketing, negotiation skills, office IT, etc.).
  Study the possible training grants offered by various bodies on the European, autonomous community and national stage.
  Perform the procedures to apply for grants.
  Determine the duration of each course and select a teacher to lead the course.
  Indicate the methodology and assessment system to be used in the course.
• Monitor the effectiveness of the training plan.
  Draw up follow-up reports assessing participants' satisfaction levels, the effectiveness of the training plan and the extent to which they are putting into practice the content covered during the course in their jobs. Bring together all of this information to determine the impact the training is having on the company's strategy.
  Deliver these reports to the company.
