Instructor Led Training

Competency-Based Training

Training can be defined as the development of a person’s abilities and skills, coupled with his overall behaviors that result in the required performance of their job role.

With our “Next Generation” entering the operations workforce, how are you ensuring the training you are providing them is being followed in the day-to-day operations?

Risks vary across industries and high risk industries like Oil & Gas, require consistent reassurance that workers can perform their jobs to required standards. What is your company doing to capture the knowledge and experiences of our retiring baby boomers? We have solutions to help you bring your next generation up to speed with the required standard, as quickly as possible.

In the book Surviving the Baby Boomer Exodus, Ken Ball and Gina Gotsill make reference of “the beginning of a retirement boom over…giving businesses some lead time to capture that departing knowledge and giving younger workers in industries crowded with Boomers room to move up.”

What are some of the Gen Y’s/Gen X (Millennials) learning characteristics?

  • A constant 24/7 culture with less tolerance for delays and a need for immediacy over previous generations
  • A trial and error approach to problem solving – they are the ‘Nintendo’ generation
  • Technology savvy with a low boredom threshold; ‘snack’ learning: a bit of TV and a bit of internet, all at the same time
  • Multi-tasking and parallel processing with a preference for visual stimuli, non-linear virtual learning, all at odds with traditional delivery methodology
  • A collaborative learning mindset – they value interaction, being connected, discussing, and listening to others
  • A constructivist approach  – a strong need to construct their own meanings: not passively accepting or absorbing (or being told) information, learn socially and in a personalized fashion, and contribute and give back
  • They want to work for company that has a cause – beyond just making the top 1% of that company more money!
