Apprenticeship training is a collaborative partnership: employer, employee associations, government, and educational institutions each play a part. In reality, most learning takes place through the daily interaction between an apprentice and co-workers. Surveys have shown that the apprentices are least satisfied with the on-the-job portion of their training - particularly the ability of journey-level workers and supervisors. You have already learned to use the tools of your chosen trade. In this workshop, you will be introduced to a new set of basic tools - the tools of a job site trainer. You will explore the skills that are necessary to be an effective trainer, discover how to deliver hands-on-training, and examine the process for giving useful feedback. During the workshop, you will build a Training Toolkit to take back to your work on the job.
