Knowledge Path. Training Program

The priority objective of the Training Program is to improve the qualifications and professional skills necessary to carry out the work and, in the case of the research staff, to carry out translational and excellent research in the lines of research prioritized by the IRSJD, and in Innovation.

We are committed to talent and the development of human capital, and, with this objective, the 2019-2022 strategic plan includes different work lines aimed at reinforcing staff training.

On the other hand, our commitment to the recently obtained "HR Excellence in Research" recognition ensures compliance with the principles of the European Charter for researchers, according to which institutions must develop an attractive workplace and a stimulating environment. In this sense, the development of talent through training is particularly relevant.

Furthermore, at the general context level, our professionals need to develop a series of skills that allow them to evolve satisfactorily in their professional careers (inside or outside our Institution) and adapt to a flexible work environment. Faced with this scenario, the development of generic and transferable skills also takes on special relevance.

This training plan is complemented by seminars and training activities carried out by the institutions that make up the Institut de Recerca Sant Joan de Déu.

Who is it for?

The training plan considers the training and young researcher hired by the FSJD (or Cyber) as the primary recipients, and the staff that makes up the Research Institute: training staff, technical support staff, post-doctoral staff and senior both own and attached. This training program is also aimed at the Management Staff and the staff of the FSJD Clinical Trials Unit.

On the other hand, this program will also be open to the different hospitals of the Order of St.John of God personnel who wish to focus on research.

In addition, the possibility of including other groups outside the Institution in the framework of the Research Seminars and Scientific Conferences of the Institute is incorporated.

Training and organizational modalities

To promote the development of the different competence dimensions, five types of training modalities are established:

  • Knowledge and techniques (KLD): Activities aimed at increasing scientific knowledge and the tools and techniques necessary for research.
  • Soft Skills (SS): Activities aimed at working on personal qualities and skills.
  • Organization and Governance (GOV): Activities aimed at learning about internal regulations and work procedures. In some cases, it will be compulsory training (Ex. PRL/Criminal Risks...)
  • Formació institucional (Values): Institutional training will allow a deeper identification with the values of Sant Joan de Déu, and the application of these values on a day-to-day basis.
  • Specific English Programs (EP): English Workshops for Researchers/ Business English Program.

At the organizational level, we have two types of modalities:

  • Specialization sessions: Duration less than 2h.
  • Courses: Activities lasting more than 2h. 

The Training Programme takes into account the Competence Framework for Research Staff of the European Commission, and therefore, the courses of the Programme will cover the seven axes of the Framework.
