As technology evolves, businesses must train employees, clients, and even customers more quickly and more often. In this rapidly changing climate, almost anyone can be called upon to be a trainer. Some relish the role, but most view it with trepidation. The Professional Trainer provides both full-time trainers and those who train only occasionally with the tools and techniques needed to rise to the challenge. A basic primer covering the entire training process, the book can also be used as a troubleshooting guide, with chapters on how to determine what skills and knowledge to include in a training program and the development of on-the-job lesson plans, checklists for progress evaluation, and information on when and how to use media support, and tools for making the learning process effective and attractive. |
