Train the Workplace Trainer

Within the Tourism Sector we rarely have the time or the resources to send employees away for days of formal training. So the bulk of our training takes place at work and involves a lot of one-on-one training. The workplace trainer needs the skills to uncover the wealth of knowledge that is in each employee and to assess the most effective method to ensure the trainee learns what needs to be learned. The goal of this two day Train the Workplace Trainer program is to provide trainers with an understanding of adult education principals, plus provide information about and opportunities to practice training and coaching skills.
