OJT Tools and Techniques program description

 

The program has been taught in formats ranging from 1 to 5 days in length, and consists of a series of focused activities relating to OJT, OJT Trainer development and OJT System implementation.

 

OJT Tools and Techniques – A very powerful, practical program for OJT trainers.

In most companies supervisors and foremen are responsible for training the employees that work for them - only no one has taught them how to do this training.

 

On the job training is one of the most common training methods.  Usually an experienced worker (sometime a supervisor, floater or lead) explains what they know (or what they think they know) about the job to an inexperienced worker.  The training may be uneven, unstructured and inconsistent.  Skills may be taught incorrectly, no training records are kept, mistakes can happen and both quality and morale suffer.

 

There is no magic surrounding effective job instruction.  This too is a task which can be mastered.  OJT Tools and Techniques will help you and others in your company to use OJT checklists to conduct structured on-the-job training and do it effectively.  Our discussion leader, Dr. Charles Levine has worked with thousands of part time OJT trainers throughout the United States to help them learn how to conduct very practical job instruction sessions.

 

What can you expect to learn in this workshop?  You Will:

  •  Learn the difference between structured and unstructured OJT
  •  Learn how job documentation can help you train consistently
  •  Learn the different instructional styles and determine which style you prefer
  •  Receive individual and specific feedback on your training skills
  •  Learn how to handle the different types of students you might find in your training sessions
  •  Practice your coaching skills by conducting two mini-training sessions with other class participants
  •  Learn how to evaluate your trainees in accordance with job documentation to determine if they can perform on the job

During this workshop we keep theory to a minimum.  Instead practical approaches and proven techniques for planning and conducting on-the-job-training will be demonstrated.

 

Who should attend this workshop?

 

 This workshop is designed for the person who actually conducts OLJT training, even if it not their primary responsibility. Foremen, leads, floaters and supervisors are some of the personnel who have successfully attended this program. If you instruct new or transferred programs – this workshop is for you.  You will learn new techniques whether you train in a small business or a large company.

 

Why is this workshop different?

 

As soon as you enter the training room you will realize that this seminar is different.  The room is arranged so that students can interact with each other; during most of the class the instructor will be circulating throughout the room working with the students, not lecturing from the front of the room.

  • This is an intense workshop designed to make maximum advantage of your valuable time.
  •  Attendance is limited so that every student can receive individualized help.
  •  Every student will have at least 4 opportunities to participate in practice training sessions Every student will receive specific feedback on their instruction and coaching skills.
  •  In the classes over 2 days; every student will practice training on a task relating to their specific job training needs.
