Training for Knowledge Transfer
Let's face it - most information will not
be retained after training has been completed. The fact is that
most information will be long forgotten once our learners leave
the training. As trainers, we deliver material with the intent of
making an impact on our learners. How much will they
remember? Will they be able
to repeat information remembered or will they be capable of
transferring knowledge? We need to equip our learners
with information that will be retained with the purpose of
improving job performance.
We want our learners to be more efficient and effective at their jobs, whether they are making widgets or managing those who are making the widgets. They must be capable of explaining a concept, a theory or logic. We want them to be able to improve, sharpen or add a skill. They may need to avoid, correct or fix an issue.
