In a world that is changing so fast, training has become continuous: it is not just a question of acquiring specialised technical tools and abilities – however vital – but also of gaining ever deeper knowledge of the “fundamentals”.

It is important to address the issue of “security culture”, as well as the use of the exoskeleton; the theme of integral ecology, as well as the assessment of a city’s climate change; the energy decarbonisation process, as well as data mining techniques; the systemic approach to the environment we interact with, as well as the implementation of a truly integrated management system.

Training, instruction and communication are the tools that facilitate change, generating business efficiency, competitiveness and worker satisfaction.

NIER also operates as an accredited trainer in accordance with the State-Regions Agreement.

Methodologies/techniques

Lessons in the classroom and in the field, using innovative technologies to achieve total staff involvement and increased learning. Instead of being a passive subject receiving theoretical information far removed from practical experience, the learner is called upon to actively participate in the training session. Rather than dispensing ideas, the teacher takes on the role of classroom facilitator.
