Because learning is a journey, not an event, formal training alone often fails to deliver expected improvements in performance for individual learners and organizations. While we value and utilize formal learning methods, we recognize the powerful impact of learning and growing through experiences and relationships. This approach, often referred to as 70:20:10, extends learning beyond the classroom and promotes the powerful impact of combining formal learning with learning from work experiences and relationships.

EQUIP Learning Solutions is pleased to provide and support “extended learning” opportunities. We equip you with practical solutions to extend learning beyond the classrooms in your organization to reinforce and enhance the formal training you currently provide your workforce.

Though often overlooked, what happens before and after training session is critical to the effectiveness of the training. In its most basic form, extended learning enhances formal learning with opportunities to better prepare for learning and then apply the newly acquired knowledge and skills.

• Our pre-training solutions prepare learners and their managers for learning and equip them with a clear understanding of the course content and how it aligns to the current business needs and the learners’ specific job-related needs.
• Our post-training solutions provide opportunities for learners to intentionally apply their new knowledge and skills and transfer the learning into individual and organizational performance.

Taken further, extended learning provides a framework for taking advantage of the many learning opportunities that present themselves in our day-to-day work.

• Facilitating learning from experiences supports learners to further learn and develop through expanding the scope of their work, by solving business problems, and through new experiences. We work with you to implement experiential learning solutions such as job enrichment, action learning, and project reviews.
• Facilitating learning from relationships supports employees in learning through others via feedback, mentoring and coaching, and knowledge sharing. We work with you to implement social learning solutions such as learning partners, peer learning groups, and communities of practice.
