– In the three Certified long training programs: Seeds of Hope, hospitality-catering and Family Farm Schools.

- Training of healthcare staff in order to improve practices and the quality of care.
Continuing education
OBJECTIVE 1
Improve the quality of programs
OBJECTIVE 2 – Support local partners towards autonomy through the transfer of skills
On-going training targets people who are already in employment, who want to improve their practices, or progress in their profession. For the IECD, it is an opportunity to guarantee the quality of programs, strengthen the capacities of local players and increase the impact of programs in territories. Since 1991, the IECD has supported medical staff in improving patient care. On-going training has gradually been extended to all of the program’s players: thus, the IECD is developing training for teachers and trainers, administrative staff and center managers, as well as care staff, thus greatly improving the quality and impact of its actions. At the same time, for all the programs that involve young people, the IECD organizes family information days so as to encourage adhesion and create a favorable and coherent dynamic.
