Equipping Employees to Train Others
Building a practical on-the-job trainer program. Adapting it to fit a change to a remote-first workforce.
Participants in the original train-the-trainer course
Business Need
Training on the job for new hires is ever present, and inconsistently performed.
First developed for classroom based learning. Second, adapted to a remote-first work policy.
Instructional Approach
Training Model/Framework
Modify existing expertise to match the Tell, Show, Do, Review framework promoted by the best company trainers.
AI Leveraged Efficiencies
Evaluation of capstone project is assisted by AI consultation.
The Operational Problem
1
The company had a familiar training framework but no formal program to institutionalize it for standardization.
I built an Accelerated Learning course based on existing materials, past experience, and public domain materials and combined them with the company’s current Tell, Show, Do, Review framework.
Adapt what was already in my toolkit
2
Started with “The 7 Steps of Highly Effective OJT”
Added a step called “Prepare” to the familiar “Tell, Show, Do, Review” process name.
More about Acclerated Learning can be found at the Center for Accelerated Learning website.
In the classroom, participants demonstrated teaching a task and received immediate 1-to-1 feedback using the method taught in the course.
