We believe professionals
everywhere deserve to have world class tools and training.
That goal leads our work. Now days, thanks to the
web any program is promoted globally; and as more
and more organizations are seeking for global perspective,
year by year, the international attendance to our
programs has been growth, in a clear demonstration
that education needs are global.
One noticeable fact is the low participation of
Latin American students in these programs. It is
low according to our GNP & Profession Growth
Index by country, and taking in account QM has been
made strong efforts in Education with our partners
in the Latin region it was more noticeable. Finding
out causes of this low attendance, we found two
main reasons: difficulties for travel to US and
language.
The travel issue is a general difficulty for all
overseas attendants. Each day it is more difficult
to leave the work for two or three weeks in order
to attend trainings, no matter how good qualified
is the program.
In the language area, we found that Latin professional
have good reading skills but are not confident with
its listening and speaking. Analyzing that issue
with our Latin partners, we fount that to be successful,
they use our same materials and books – in
English – but, the sessions are run in Spanish
language, with excellent results.
With these inputs, we structured a new area focus
in offer world class training, in Spanish language,
in the country of the attendant, leaded by international
Instructors. These programs are structured to be
offer in two days sessions, usually Friday and Saturday,
biweekly, spread out over three months. During the
two weeks between class sessions, you are expected
to prepare cases and readings. You are also asked
to use the intervening weeks to reflect on the material
discussed in the previous class and to relate in
to your jobs. You have the opportunity to share
new insights with your class colleagues and faculty
at the meetings. The result is a blend of classroom
concepts and day-to-day experience – a powerful
combination that greatly enriches the learning processes.
We really hope these programs be helpful to increase
the competitively of our organization by means of
great qualified professionals.
