Competence-based workforce development
The Future Tech
Academy
Employees are your organisation’s greatest asset. They can accelerate or slow down the achievement of your objectives and the implementation of your growth strategy. It is vital that you support and guide the development of the competences that your employees need to shape that growth, strategy implementation and organisational development.

We improve the performance of your staff by creating personalised competence development plans based on competence gap analysis and implement and monitor them along your employees’ development journey.

Development programs and individual courses
Development programs and individual courses
The process is not complete until the competence gaps are filled. We are happy to take care of this too in one-to-one sessions for a single individual or in a classroom format to a group sharing the same competence gap. The number and length of sessions and courses depend on the specific gap, objectives and number of people taking part. All delegates receive an FTA certificate of attendance on completion of their course.
