Apprenticeship Programs and SiTUATE
Recorded April 15, 2022
This two-hour session shows how SiTUATE can be used to plan, deliver, and manage both the OJT and RTI portion of apprenticeship programs. Most apprenticeships are based on a set of guidelines which define the occupation. SiTUATE provides templates for conducting a job and task analysis derived from the guideline, preparing the training guides for the structured on-the-job training to be used by the employer, and a performance check for mentors to evaluate whether the apprentice has actually learned to perform the task. An Apprentice Tracker features a cross-walk showing the tasks and the components of the guideline, and a learning roadmap for the apprentice.
S-OJT Train the Trainer
Recorded March 18, 2022
This two-hour awareness session introduces how to prepare experienced employees as S-OJT trainers. The success of work-based learning program depend on the effectiveness of trainers. Yet, most traditional train-the-trainer programs focus on the delivery of training in a classroom, not the actual work setting, which calls for a different set of skills.
Work Analysis: Documenting What People Do in the Workplace
Recorded February 18, 2022
This two-hour awareness session introduced work analysis, focusing specifically on analyzing occupations, jobs, and tasks. Discussion also briefly focused on analyzing the competencies of individuals. Work analysis is critical for designing apprenticeship programs and employee training programs, regardless of the training approach used. Yet, the most effective skills-based training involves structured on-the-job training (S-OJT).
