Book Description

This book covers exactly what should be done for successful on–the–job training.
––Joseph A. Benkowski, technical training manager, Miller Brewing Company

The authors of the classic Mastering the Instructional Design Process offer a complete, step–by–step action guide to establishing or improving a comprehensive on–the–job training program for all job categories.

Professional trainers know that as time becomes a critical strategic resource, just–in–time training––training provided during real time on the job––is proving to be the most effective means of facilitating learning in the workplace. Yet in many organizations, OJT is typically left to supervisors, executives, and other well–intentioned coworkers who lack the necessary skills to plan and execute it successfully.

This research–based guide helps you to:

Identify needs and establish goals
Prepare trainees to learn
Determine when on–the–job training is appropriate
Plan an on–the–job training program
Evaluate the results…and much more!

You′ll get:

Checklists
Hands–on tools
Case studies
Charts
And much more! Don′t miss this opportunity to both improve training and save time and money.

Bjorkquist, Department of Vocational and Technical Education, College of Education, University of Minnesota)
