What is the main difference between a programme and a project learning experience?

A programme is a learning and development intervention which is either online, physical or a combination of both. It includes different learning methods and can include learning by working on a project.

A Project Learning Experience revolves around learning on the job by working on a real existing project of one of the Eurapco Partners. The project is in the center of the learning experience and the working is combined with learning elements like coaching and teaching about the work you do on the project. The project learning experience is tailor made. Therefore, the duration and costs can vary. Benefits of the project learning experience are: very relevant learning closely related to your current job activities; you can take the insights of the project outcomes back to your own company; you will increase your professional international network of peers

Eurapco Academy aims on continuous learning between the Eurapco Partner employees to create value. Therefore, the creation of networks of peers is essential.

In the future we will support more alumni networks when participants think this is useful.
