The Foundry sets a new standard for learner-centered education.
To create world-class learning experiences, we’ve committed to understanding YOU, the modern learner — how you think and retain information, how you like to absorb and engage with new knowledge, and more importantly, what causes you to commit to lasting change.
Not all training courses are created equal.
In today's world, it can be challenging to find courses that meet modern learners' learning needs. Our Signature Courses seamlessly blend theory with real-world practice, offering a professional yet fun approach. At The Foundry, we've created a unique learning framework called the Learning Lab.
Based on four core elements, our the Learning Lab method combines the latest in cognitive learning science with proven teaching techniques.
Brain Engagers. Our programs are designed to bring out people’s natural curiosity. We use plenty of story hooks, analogies and multi-sensory learning methods to engage your brain, helping it connect ideas and create new insights. We deliver courses with just the right blend of left and right-brain methods to keep you alert, curious and energized at all times.
Co-Active Learning. Modern learners are goal-oriented, collaborative and sophisticated. We make sure that trainees set clear learning goals and help others achieve theirs during the program. During sessions, trainees are not talked at like audience members. We’ve found that people tend to learn much more effectively when they participate and teach each other actively. Hence, we consider trainees as learners and co-teachers at the same time.
Retrieval Practice. We believe that the ultimate test of effectiveness is application of learning in the real world. New skills or knowledge, without practice, will quickly find itself flushed down the mind’s recycle bin. During sessions, we provide several opportunities for retrieval of new knowledge, skills practice and real-world missions to enhance retention.
Playspace. We stray away from learning environments that remind us of a formal classroom. Our courses are best delivered in an informal environment, where participants are free to experiment and commit errors without judgment. In fact, we believe that spills and slips play a critical part in the learning experience. We’ve observed that adults thrive best in an environment where they can relax and focus on their own learning. Humor and playfulness are the secret sauce in our sessions. Bring your playful self and have fun while you learn!
