When considering options for employee learning and development, many businesses turn to automation. Automated learning paths offer convenience, scalability, and data-driven personalization. But here's the question: is automation alone truly enough to unlock your team's full potential?

Automation Gets You So Far, But What About the Human Element?

Imagine if your learning program not only recommended courses based on skill gaps but also provided expert guidance to overcome individual roadblocks. Automated learning can suggest the right content, but it lacks the empathy and personalized problem-solving that a human coach brings. It's like having a map without a tour guide.

Why Automation PLUS Coaching Is the Winning Formula

  • Human Insight Meets Data: While automation pinpoints where learning gaps exist, coaches can address why those gaps are there and provide tailored solutions.
  • Personalized Feedback: Automated systems might show which skills need improvement, but only a coach can give real-time feedback, share industry insights, and guide the application of these skills in the workplace.
  • Enhanced Motivation and Accountability: Learners are more likely to stay engaged and complete their learning paths when they know there’s someone invested in their success. Coaching creates a sense of accountability that pure automation lacks.

Introducing Cloud Institute's Coaching Sessions: A Game-Changer for Learners

The Perfect Pairing: Automated Learning Paths and Human Coaching

Automation alone can provide a structured learning path, guiding you step-by-step through various modules. However, what happens when you hit a roadblock or need insights beyond the scope of the content? That’s where human coaching makes all the difference. The synergy between automated learning paths and one-on-one coaching sessions ensures that learners not only acquire new skills but also understand how to apply them in real-world scenarios.

By combining automated learning recommendations with personalized coaching, Cloud Institute ensures that you’re never left alone in your learning journey. As discussed in our previous article on personalized learning paths, automation can pinpoint the exact areas where improvement is needed. However, it’s the interaction with an experienced coach that helps solidify this knowledge, turning it into actionable skills.

Coach Search and Filters: 

  • Cloud Institute makes it easy to find the right coach for your specific needs with a powerful search and filtering system. 
  • You can search directly by the coach's name or apply filters to refine your search: 
  • Experience: Filter coaches based on their years of experience, ranging from 0 to 20+ years, so you can find someone with the expertise you're looking for. 
  • Certifications: Select from a comprehensive list of certifications to ensure your coach has the qualifications relevant to your learning path. 
  • Roles: Filter by specific roles such as Solutions Architect, Cloud Engineer, Software Programmer, and more, ensuring you connect with a coach who understands your career or technical challenges.

Coach Profiles: 

  • Once you've applied your filters or selected a coach, their profiles are displayed in tiles that offer a snapshot of key information: 
  • You’ll see the coach's name, title, and a short description of their expertise and skills. 
  • Each profile can be expanded for more in-depth details, including: 
  • Their availability for sessions 
  • The certifications they hold 
  • A detailed biography providing insights into their background and experience 

This allows you to make an informed decision when choosing a coach, ensuring they align with your personal or professional needs. 

Booking a Session: 

  • When you’re ready to book, simply click on the "Book a Session" option, which opens a calendar in a new tab. 
  • You’ll be able to select your preferred date and time based on the coach’s availability and provide your name, email, company, and any other relevant information. 
  • Once the booking is confirmed, you will receive a confirmation email with a meeting invite for the scheduled time and date. 
  • Note: If the coach has no available time slots, the "Book a Session" button will be greyed out, indicating that you’ll need to choose a different time or coach.
