Extend skills, boost talent management and retention of employees and promote the sense of belonging to the company are the central goals of Efacec’s renewed training school, which is renamed Mast3r Efacec Academy.
The academy is based on three specific schools and counts on the participation of internal and external trainers, of which Porto Business School stands out.
Under the motto “Knowledge that expands the future”, Mast3r Efacec Academy shows the new training and people development model developed by Efacec which as is aligned with the strategic plan under development since the current board of directors entering the service, in October 2015.
The project includes the Corporate School, designed to work behavioral and communication processes oriented to the Efacec culture; the Management School, aimed to training leaders and to uniform management and leadership practices aligned with world best standards; and the Technological School which focuses on the promotion of technological innovation to respond and anticipate market needs and enable innovative technical skills. By 2020 are already prepared training programs, formed by modules from each school, that are compulsory or recommended for all employees.
The launch event of the Mast3r Efacec Academy was held on March 28th at Porto Business School and was attended by a large group of Efacec employees, as well as some external partners of Mast3r Academy, namely SDO Consulting, which will provide behavioral training, Porto Business School, exclusive partner for the Management School, and INESC TEC, partner for the development of technological skills.
Ângelo Ramalho, Efacec CEO, highlighted the importance of this project for the company’s strategy. “A strategy that puts people at the center of Efacec’s road for development and evolution. Together with other initiatives such as “700 Recruta +”, our recruitment campaign, is helping to renew Efacec’s talent DNA. This new Academy will continue to trust and to develop the talent of our people, creating a cohesive group of people aligned with Efacec culture and brand and a group able to respond to the needs of an increasingly demanding market”.
