Our training strategy
The dynamic environment we operate in encourages us to continually enhance our know-how and to develop our skills and expertise.
This is why every year, in liaison with the Executive Committee and our managers, we draw up a specific training plan to support the Group's strategic orientations, accompany each employee's individual progress (new job, mobility, evolution of assignments) and gain insights into the key skills that will be required tomorrow to meet new challenges.
More than 90% of our employees thus receive training via external courses customized to our teams and in-house training via the Akuo Akademy – a network of more than 40 in-house trainers offering courses in all our fields of expertise. Our training catalogue currently comprises 40 technical training programs covering topics such as solar power, wind power and storage, but also project financing and legal aspects associate with projects.
Our induction process
Induction within Akuo is a key moment for our employees to whom we pay particular attention.
Each new joiner thus has access, as soon as they arrive, to a specific training course comprising several training modules. Each of them then participates in an induction event lasting several days enabling them to discover our activities, understand our values, ambitions and organization, and create bonds with all the teams and segments. A practical case taking the form of a 'Serious Game', designed in-house, supplements this set-up and helps new staff understand every phase of a project to install a renewable energy production plant.
Another highlight for our new employees is the opportunity to head out into the field to visit our sites in operation and thus witness our teams’ successes.
Support provided to managers at Akuo
Managing a team isn’t necessarily a skill you acquire during an academic course. Furthermore, at Akuo, management meets very strong values. We thus support each manager’s development in liaison with our leadership model.
At Akuo, every new manager participates in a specific course lasting a few months to help them understand our leadership model, a program supplemented by several hours of individual coaching.
Throughout the year, the entire managerial community is given the opportunity to participate in workshops, conferences and think tanks to enhance and develop their practices.
