Educo y Actua: when learning becomes a lever for impact
In organizations with a social mission, training is the invisible infrastructure that makes it possible to protect better, to go further and to do so with quality. In this interview, Educo, an NGO with more than 30 years of experience and presence in 16 countries, shares how it has evolved its training strategy to make learning a tool for impact.
A conversation about how to move from manual processes and low traceability to Educo Campusa digital ecosystem based on Totaradesigned to organize, measure and improve training without losing the main focus: the people.
An ecosystem to train inside… and multiply outside…
Educo not only trains its internal team (some 800 people) but also its 800 people on critical issues such as safeguarding, transparency or cybersecurity). It also needs to train organizations, partners and professionals in the field. Therefore, the leap was not just about “having a platform”, but also about create a scalable modelwith quality standards and a globally accessible user experience (including mobile app and offline access). mobile app and offline access).
What you will find in the interview
Among the key learnings, the team brings to the table decisions that make a difference:
- Strategy + data: training aligned with organizational objectives, with real-time statistics and traceability of progress and results.
- Experience-centered design: content curation and redesign (“less is more”), audiovisual formats, interaction and sharing spaces (forums and communities of practice).
- Mixed model: Digitize what scales and keep the face-to-face where it provides the most value.
- Measurable impact: by 2025, 1,032 people from 83 organizations and, internally, 95% of the company’s employees were 95% of staff completed the planned courses (success rates between 90% and 95%).
- Real scalability: programs such as PROTEGEmos are digitized to be reused with small adaptations and reach more contexts without multiplying costs.
Why does it matter?
Because it demonstrates something powerful. C hen elearning is well designed, it not only improves efficiency, but also multiplies social reach.. Educo sums it up bluntly: digitization reduces costs of on-site training (travel, preparation, execution) and allows “being in several places at the same time” without losing expertise .
If you work in L&D, in training for distributed organizations or in projects with social impact, this interview will give you applicable ideas from minute one: how to standardize without losing flexibility, how to scale without overflowing and how to put technology at the service of the mission..
