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.
