About this challenge

Challenge description
Lyon Metropole is a French territorial authority covering 58 municipalities that oversee an area of 534 km2 with a total of 1.4 million residents. It is the third biggest territorial authority in France. With 9400 employees and a 2021-2026 budget of €3.97 billion, Lyon Metropole is in charge of the following public policies, as Solidarit, Town planning, Urban services, Economic development, Education, Culture and sport.
The Lyon Metropole has around 40 employees working in various trades to coordinate and organise vocational training for all its staff. In addition, it can count on the involvement of 250 occasional in-house trainers (experts that spend up to 90 hours a year training their colleagues).
Training in a few figures:
- Number of training days in 2023: 27,099
- Number of trainees during 2023: 6911
- Number of training days per employee: 2.8
- Total annual budget for training activities: €5 million
“Training differently" emerged from the following observations:
- 95% of trainings are face-to-face and top-down
- 25% of no-shows during training
- Difficulty filling sessions
- Difficulty in measuring the impact of training courses
- A single training time, no notion of a training path with several modalities and adapted to the learner's level
In addition, for those involved in training:
- Lack of time to imagine and design training courses
- Lack of skills in design training despite their efforts
- Lack of links between training stakeholders
- Lack of recognition and appreciation of the role of in-house trainer
- Clarity what is the role of the stakeholders in the training (from its creation, the implementation and the follow-up)

This city is looking for
With this project, we aim to:
- Facilitate and optimise the design of engaging and effective training courses for learners
- Build a sustainable, professionalised community of training providers
- Professionalise our in-house trainers to enable them to offer engaging training courses
- Improve our training management process.
Our current challenges are:
- Organising, clarifying and enhancing the roles of trainers
- Providing tools and support as close as possible to the needs in terms of design, to optimise creation time.
- Creating engaging and efficient training for learners by enriching methods (e.g. blended) and content.
- Get the training network moving and organise it on a long-term basis.
We are looking for local authorities and/ or learning centres interested in exchanging best practices, experience and knowledge. (city to city is a possibility)
