Professional success! The hidden role of informal education

How will I accomplish my professional goals?

The university degree and the acquisition of a certification used to be a traditional way to built a successful career. However, as it can be noticed, the most successful businessmen often mention that what gave them the push was not learnt at university. So, it is the right moment to change this perception? Is the hidden role of professional success the informal education?

During last years there are a lot of changes, not only in the technological level but also in social. New technologies and economic instability have brought significant changes in the working environment, leading to new and more effective work models.

However, the biggest change is noticed on the way that we perceive our employment. Nowdays, the model < degree- employment- stability> has been proved ineffective. Instead of it, we have placed human in the centre and by this way the professional training becomes a circle figure, broadening its horizons.

Lifelong learning

Lifelong learning and experiential education play a pivotal role in this change. The non formal education offers you knowledge and skills that you need in order to become a successful professional. In a number of cases, however, the knowledge that you gain is real experience that you would not have acquired in a university program.

Typical examples of the lifelong and experiential learning are the seminars, the online training programs and the meetings. Moreover, internet consists of a sterile source of knowledge, since you can be in touch with successful businessmen at your place and you can discover their secrets.

The dynamic of microlearning

One of the most efficient model of lifelong learning is the microlearning, which is small fragments of knowledge and practical training, which can have in your daily life. By this way, you can continue learning day by day, without needing you to devote so much time.

The progress through microlearning is remarkable. This specific model makes learning a daily process, adjusting it to your life and not vice versa. The microlearning platforms usually consist of a brief text, images and sound, and they also use gamification technique.

Metacognition – The key to success

However, this big change happens when you realize the possibilities of metacognition. With this term we refer to our ability of understanding our way of thinking.

With metacognition, we require an important asset. The inner rethinking helps you to realize why you function with the specific way and helps you correct you way of thinking that keeps you behind. It is not a coincidence that metacognition appeared as the theory to deal with mistakes.

Knowledge and experience journey

As we can realize, business success does not only depend on university education. You can now begin your trip in experiential learning and reach to the level that you have always dreamt about. The only thing that you need is will and persistence.

Acquiring knowledge is a continuous process that does not stop in classrooms. With my guidance, you will learn how to take advantage of the dynamic of non typical education.
