Training Curriculum Development

Harvey S. Firestone --

"It is only as we develop others that we permanently succeed."

Why Formalize your On-The-Job Training Process?

On-the-job training in many organizations merely consists of hiring someone and throwing them into the fire and hope they succeed. Others assign the trainee to a "trainer" where they can see the job being done and then perform under the guidance of the trainer. By formalizing the process, the trainer is provided and well organized checklist that they can use to guide the training. This assures that the training covers all aspects of the job and the trainer can document where the trainee excels or may need additional training. It also assures that the training is consistent from person to person regardless of variation in the trainers. This formalized OJT training information may also be used to develop career path opportunities and develop skill based pay incentives.
