What is transformative learning? Transformative learning occurs when, through critical self-reflection, an individual revises old or develops new assumptions, beliefs, or ways of seeing the world.

Training programs that employ transformative learning concepts are set up to help students experience a measure of success, regain confidence and self-esteem, and help them set personal and professional goals.

Based on up-to-date research in transformative learning, this workshop teaches employment professionals how to empower unemployed, marginalized adult learners.

Older Workers

Older workers who find themselves involuntarily unemployed face unique challenges, contrary labour market trends and systemic barriers when seeking reemployment. Together, these barriers make up the silver ceiling.

This workshop relays the benefits of hiring older workers and discusses effective strategies for getting them back into the workplace. Innovative and active employment measures to help workers aged 55 to 64 reintegrate into the work force are discussed. In addition, parts of the workshop focuses on helping older workers facing potential unemployment retain their jobs.

Facilitation focuses primarily on processes in which information is exchanged among the participants in a group. The role of the facilitator is to ease this exchange by using structured techniques and communication skills. Examples of facilitated events are: strategic and other planning, decision making, conflict resolution, problem solving, creative development, and team initiatives. Facilitation is different than training in that training is a process primarily to transfer information or skill (content) between a trainer and a participant group. It is important to note that many training issues are also relevant to facilitators.

This workshop will identify strategies to conceptualize and plan a successful group processes, build commitment, provide facilitation tips, discussion and group rules for facilitators, and propose strategies to help deal with resistant participants.
