Vocational Training
Management Training
A UK report (19/12/2003) has said that while the number of people in work-based learning had risen, the Learning and Skills Council claimed there was a lot more that employers could be doing. Paraphrasing James Binks, senior policy adviser at the Confederation of British Industry: ‘Basic skills are a huge problem for businesses…employer training has been successful because it delivers training when and where the employer needs it.’
Shortly before I commenced my University studies, a friend, who was then one of Victoria’s (Australia) leading civil engineers, counselled me that when I completed my degree and started work, what I had learned would not all be directly applicable to my job. I would have to learn all over again – become involved in worked-based learning – and to adapt my knowledge and skills to a new vocation, and environment. I subsequently found that he was right!
Anyone leaving school, college, or university is faced with the need for up-skilling, and for workplace training. The employer, or organization, is also faced with the need to provide new employees with specific workplace training. Even old employees require periodic up-skilling in the way the job is best done – because the workplace and jobs change, particularly with the introduction of new technologies.
In my work as a manager, a consultant, and a trainer, I found it helped immensely – no matter whom I was coaching or training, or at what level – to first introduce them to the basic principles, or rules, of systematic learning and remembering. This was advantageous within the training workshop itself (either as a group or on a one-to-one basis), and they would also take that knowledge back into their job and use it in further developing their own work skills and career, or in dealing with others.

The Study Guide, (page 3) used as part of a training program, greatly increases the effective outcomes of the training, in the short and long term, and for any number of training programs in the future. An investment of $20 per trainee is all it will cost, (Page 5 to order) and they will carry that investment in knowledge and skill into all avenues of their work within the organization.
Executive Coaching
In the USA executive coaching has exploded in recent years, companies spending more than $1 billion US annually. One expert, Alec Levenson, says such programs can make a significant difference in overall organizational effectiveness by improving teamwork and the ability to execute strategy. The main aim should be targeted at specific areas throughout the organization to improve performance rather than merely to correct problems. (Newswise.com)
