On-Site Training
Calyptus specializes in the areas of acquisition, supply management, purchasing, and supply chain management training. We take a process view toward training. This means that all training activities should be focused on filling a gap in skills or knowledge or providing those competencies that will provide staff with growth and development opportunities. We believe that the establishment of the training curriculum should be based on a well-crafted needs assessment focused around key dimensions of the job or competencies required to fulfill the goals of improving the organization’s supply chain.
We believe that training adults is a specialized field, and providers should be sensitive to the needs of the adult learner. Our purchasing seminars and workshops are designed to be highly interactive and hands-on; and to solicit viewpoints from people in different lifestyles and stages of development. We use a variety of continuous improvement principles, practices and tools, strategies for gathering data, enhancing decision-making, and managing group behavior. We focus on content, process, and results. Participants will have an opportunity to apply the knowledge gained during the course of the program and receive feedback on performance. Action plans to be implemented after the training are included.
Experience has taught us that adult learners like to focus on a single-concept; integrate new ideas with current knowledge; and participate in learning-based projects. Therefore, we apply the 'learning by doing' principle, thereby improving training effectiveness. Creative and innovative approaches are used to ensure participant involvement including presentations, self-assessments, team/group exercises, simulations and role playing. Generally, we use multimodal training methods that incorporate LCD projection, flip-charts, case studies, self-assessments and team exercises to ensure “active student participation.”
We offer over 132 off-the-shelf procurement training programs that can be tailored to the needs of your organization. These programs can be delivered on-site at a time and location of your choice or via the internet by one of our qualified and experienced instructors. These training programs have involved needs assessments, course curriculum design, material development, course instruction, and post-program support.
Calyptus has also recently deployed interactive web-based training in Articulate. These training are geared toward clients who prefer online training without the need of an on-site or web-based instructor. These flash-automated training incorporate descriptive instructions, training notes, voice, and quizzes to ensure that participants fully comprehend the objectives. With only a click of a button, participants will be able to access the course anywhere and anytime. These cost-effective training help reducing travel expenses and material costs.
Thank you for your interest. We will be in touch soon.
