On-the-Job Training Techniques

Offered Through Customized Training Solutions

Invest in your employees and strengthen your organization with our course, On-the-Job Training Techniques. 

The role of an on-the-job trainer or supervisor requires a specific set of skills that can vary greatly from formal classroom trainers. We will teach your team how to break a skill down into steps, create rapport quickly, identify skill gaps and coach individuals with clear, specific, behavior-based feedback. 

Imagine if your team could gain this valuable skill set while learning to be more comfortable as a supervisor, manager or leader. Think about the possibilities of reducing stress while becoming more effective at coaching others to higher levels of performance. These essential skills help your organization get better results while providing a foundation that will support participants throughout their careers.
