Does it condition the public support to the training of the bosses?

The association Ariane Skills & Management wants to deprive them of public money to the contractors who do not update their skills. Problem: the supply of training does not follow.

The proposal seems radical. The association Ariane Skills & Management, which brings together different profiles from the world of business (small or large), public service, and of trade unionism, suggests to condition the public aid granted to SMES for the skills of their leaders. "When the State or territorial communities to provide assistance to these companies, they could legitimately ask for an evaluation of their leaders, in order to detect their training needs, and by imposing then the forms of learning tailored to what they are".

"A good initial training is not enough"

The association is based on the observation that managers of SMES do not sufficiently update their skills. "A good initial training, you can launch its project with success," says one of its representatives, Thierry Aumonnier. But there comes a stage of development where it is no longer enough. You don't have a stock of skills 'to life'. It takes continuous training to adapt. Leaders often say that they don't have the time. This is more of an excuse than a real reason. As for the lack of money raised too, it is a valid argument in the sense that they pay for training for their employees, never for them!"

"Know how to impose to people what they will not regret"

the introduction of new constraints to business leaders, who already complain about being so, is it a relevant solution? "Is the ban, in the name of freedom to undertake, can lead to inappropriate uses of public money, as well as a kind of neglect indirect business concerned, think of the association. He must know how to impose to people that they will not regret, after having done it, even if they have been reluctant at the start for good reasons or bad. Sometimes, it is by entering in a process that is able interest, although it has long been reluctant to commit to it."

Remains a problem of size: the catalog of training today is not suited to the leaders of structures to be modest. Modules delivered according to a form of academic not enough interactive, lack of practical cases "SMES" to operational scope, obligations of presence incompatible with an agenda of business leaders... Ariane Skills & Management is aware of this. It has developed initiatives with partners, such as e-learning modules from the specific questions posed by the SME daily. According to her, training to be reinvented for the managers of SMES must be pragmatic, scalable, "provide the information and knowledge little by little", and "focus on the interactions effective": networking and peer exchange...
