Guide on Training Methodology for EBMOs

Employer and Business Member Organizations (EBMOs) add value to their members in many different ways. One of them is through providing training services. 

participants working together

By offering training, EBMOs provide tangible value for money for their members. Training provision is an essential strategy to retain existing members and attract new ones, leading to greater representativeness, influence and sustainability.

Running a sustainable and high quality training service is not easy. It requires good business acumen but also good insight and skills in the business of adult learning: from assessment and design to delivery!

What’s more, EBMOs need to keep abreast of trends and changing market needs. They need to strengthen their own capacity to innovate and embrace new technologies for more quality, more engagement and better learning impact.

We very much hope that this interactive Guide will be a useful tool to stimulate and support EBMOs in the design and delivery of training services for their members.
