1. How to write a task list. 

2. How to identify the critical skills and knowledge for each task. 

3. How to sequence the tasks for optimal learning.

• Make work assignments, find training opportunities, track "hidden" training, and keep a training log.

• Plan the optimum mix of STRUCTURED OJT, e-learning, classroom and other training activities.

• Manage and track the entire OJT process.

• Identify trainee-training status in 20 seconds.

• Integrate training “naturally” into work processes so that knowledge and skill sharing becomes part of the job.

• "Job aids" are procedures that people use when
  actually doing a task. 

• Job aids let people take the training with them to the job. 

• If you already have job aids, we can show you how to write them faster and better.
