Training Best Practices

The 3 Pillars of Training

1. The student utilizing LearnGlazing.com
2. The company being involved in the training
   • Use individual topics as opporunity to have focused discussions with employee
   • Keep from providing too board of training
3. The student seeking further resources both inside and outside of the company
   • Take advantage of the resources available to the student

Program Outline – The Process

1. Assign a training leader to student(s)
2. Students should plan for 3-4 courses per month
3. Students and leaders should schedule a time for a discussion after each module
   • Bring in other professionals, both inside and outside of the company that can aid in discussion / learning.
     I.E. – fabricators, installers, manufacturer’s reps, etc.
4. Leaders will watch student progress of quizzes, speed of taking the courses, etc.
5. Leaders should encourage students to do research outside of the program, prior to discussions

What is the Leader’s Role in the Training?

2. They will bridge the gap between training and company specific means and methods
3. They will be a sounding board for the student to give feedback and direction to the employee
4. They will monitor the progress of the student, identify areas of concern, and help work through topics the student may find difficult
