The learning process can be effective if the objectives are clearly defined. They also help the trainers to avail freedom to train the way they want, maintaining the desired track. However, while doing so, one has to ensure that learning takes place and it gets reflected to the actual job.

There are 3 important factors to be focused in the facilitation process:
1. Focus on the Trainee
2. Focus on Training Design
3. Focus on training ensuring the transfer

~ Each individual is unique and so are their learning styles. Addressing them independently would be a costly affair; however neglecting them would be the biggest mistake. To address this, incorporation of different training methods for each topic can be opted. It could be time consuming but worth the investment.
~ Expectations from training – bridging the gap between the real needs, felt needs and expectations before the training helps in ensuring that learning takes place at an individual level.

2. π“π«πšπ’π§π’π§π  𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐒𝐠𝐧:
~ Structuring the environment & process in such a way that things important to trainees are included into the events & training materials
~ Eliminating distractions by providing a conducive & learning oriented physical set up and not entertaining any interruptions
~ Making it relevant right in the beginning and attracting the attention of the trainees
~ Independent efforts to ensure retention of what they learn

3. π“π«πšπ’π§π’π§π  𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐞𝐫:
~ Positive transfer is what all the training designers and trainers aspire to see happening
~ There are mechanisms to check it and it is an independent exercise to set parameters for the same

Conduct of the training is a long process involving various aspects. I have already covered the training methods earlier. Will talk about evaluation at length in the next posts.

Till then do share how have you ensured learning in the training programs you have conducted or attended…
