How To Convince Your Employer To Get Training?

Make training allows to evolve within his enterprise, or even consider to leave it to work in another. But how to convince your employer to let you take training?
 

Know the training formalities

First, learn about your rights. An employee has a personal training account:
 

- It can operate it (almost) as it seems fit.
- It may indeed choose material that will allow him to evolve better.
 

However, to take this course, he must request the authorization from his employer. It is indeed him who finances it!
 

In addition, the training, according to the collective agreement, can be followed on working time.
 

Suffice to say that for the enterprise, your training time will not be beneficial. It is therefore essential to negotiate well.
 

How to choose relevant training

First you need to find training that fits logically into your career.
 

Your employer would not finance a hobby or a fad. If your training must be profitable for you, it must also be for the enterprise.
 

For example: a course in business English can stick to the international goals of your employer. Having a bilingual employee is an asset.
 

Prepare a presentation to convince your employer

Know present things to your employer:

* Start by testing the speaking side, during your quarterly assessment for example.
 

* If your employer seems to agree on the principle of training, then prepare your project:
 

- You must indeed present a precise roadmap.
- Treat your spelling.
- Prepare your arguments.
- Anticipate possible reticence: it will take time? Yes, but it is an investment. You will be missing a week? No, he can choose a part-time package. And so on.
 

* Finally, present your project to your employer and send a written request for him to think about it if needed.
 

Good to know: pay attention especially to the dates of training. This should not take place simultaneously with the biggest congress of the enterprise or on holiday, while the staffing shortage.
 

If you oppose a refusal, ask him why. You may be able to adjust your application and refile it later.
