Technical Training Institute Design, Development, & Management
PrimaCUX works with organizations around the world to design, develop, and manage technical training institutes. Within the GCC region, we have a particular focus on developing and managing two-year technical vocational institutes in partnership with local businesses and leading educational organizations in North America, Europe, and Asia.
Three-Phased Process
This section provides an overview of the major steps we follow to design, develop, launch, and manage a technical institute. PrimaCUX applies a three-phased process as follows:
- Institute Planning, Industry Needs Analysis, and Macro-Level Design: two-to-three months
- Development and Launch: six months
- Ongoing Operation, Continuous Improvement, and Knowledge Transfer: three-to-five years
Training Environment
Our Training Process includes the following:
- An emphasis on needs analysis with strong “business partner relationship management” to ensure that the Institute’s programs are closely aligned with the practical needs of the Food Processing industry.
- Highly experiential, hands-on instruction and learning environments that simulate the environment that graduates will work in the food processing industry.
- Industry internships and project-based learning.
- An inspiring learning environment that fully engages all participants in the delight of learning and the joy of technical accomplishment.
- A supportive environment with an emphasis on clarity, discipline, mutual respect, and full attendance.
- A challenging environment that stretches all participants to excel.
- A strong adherence to international standards for excellence in technical and vocational training
- An emphasis on regular testing and evaluation to ensure that all participants master the material and develop the competencies required to excel as bio-technicians within the food processing industry.
- Extra-curricular activities and a range of student support services.
- A well-rounded learning environment with an emphasis on developing the whole person.
- E-Learning and self-development opportunities for all participants.
- Library and internet access for all participants.
- Safety, health, and wellness training.
Internships
Internships engage students in putting theory to practice in the classroom of work. This form of experiential learning propels and applies education into the world of action, where ideas are tested and career-ready skills developed. These immediate, concrete experiences in the workplace become the basis for “learning-by-doing” as students discover new opportunities to develop new skills and competencies.
Students at the internship site acquire new knowledge and skills by successfully meeting interpersonal and intellectual challenges. A successful internship requires more than just ‘going to work;’ internships are part of a learning and reflection cycle. Throughout each internship, students work with individual faculty supervisors who together observe and reflect on what was accomplished. Students integrate these reflections into a comprehensive internship portfolio, which both showcases specific achievements in the workplace and analyzes the quality of the learning throughout the internship.
