A Culture of Learning
In order to increase knowledge and skill of crew and staff it is essential to create a culture of learning. Most of us know what is the knowledge and skill needed to do a specific job and how to get them. What is missing is a desire to pay the price to attain it, both from the part of the organization and the person needing the training or education.
The price here is not necessary, just finances, it is the willingness from the part of the organization to include training in its overall plan, and from the employee (in our case volunteer) to reprioritize their time and energy for learning.
A culture of learning is the consequence of leadership, management and employees working together to provide and attain the necessary knowledge and skills that move the organization forward. Where a culture of learning is lacking training and education is always on the way of production, but in a culture of learning knowledge is shared to everyone according their functions.
Today we began the Efficient Deck Hand course for the Africa Mercy Deck Ratings. The instructor is Capt. David Hines, from the UK. He is teaching the practical skills to work on deck. It is great to see the engagement and eagerness to learn of the seven students in the class, just a steep toward a culture of learning.
