Discussing innovation in continuing education

Every November, the University of Lille organises its annual Continuing Education Innovation Week.

What is Innov’ember?

Continuing Education Innovation Week

Innov’ember is an opportunity for partners − companies, local authorities, training organisations, etc. − to meet those who are involved in innovation in continuing education at the university (teacher-researchers, training developers, multimodal teaching staff, students, etc.).

Over the course of three days (Tuesday to Thursday), participants and speakers will have the opportunity to:

  • Discovering and understanding what innovation means in training, education and within organisations, etc. Understanding why we innovate
  • Connecting with current, prospective and hesitant innovators,
  • Promoting skills and innovative practices in terms of support, project engineering, learning and teaching for the general public (students, vocational studies trainees, etc.),
  • Promoting innovation at universities and throughout the regions of Hauts-de-France.

Innov’ember is run by the Continuing Education and Work-Study Programme Department in partnership with the Educational Innovation Department.

Developing your work-study programme

The context

By recruiting students on work-study programmes, you can introduce them to your company’s specific know-how as soon as they start their studies, integrate them more quickly and benefit from financial advantages, for instance. With more than 3,600 students on work-study programmes, in a wide range of sectors and at all levels of qualification, the University of Lille is a major source of future employees. It includes grandes écoles and faculties that have built up considerable experience in this field within their own sectors, and is supported by numerous partnerships.

Becoming a leading ‘work-study university’

The University of Lille has decided to seize the opportunities presented by the ‘professional future’ law of 5 September 2018, which enables the creation of a work-study training organisation. The aim is to transform and develop the courses and services it offers in order to:

  • Strengthening ‘work-study training’ expertise by pooling skills in course development, customer relations and legal studies
  • Innovating and offering new services to work-study students, companies and teaching teams
  • Anticipating future challenges such as quality referencing, managing a competitive environment, supporting candidates in their search for a contract and the growing number of work-study university programmes..
