Current training for today’s workforce is faced with challenges such as overreliance on presentation-based content, on instructor-led training, testing and knowledge checks that don’t always validate the learner fully understands the material, and training methods that are time consuming and expensive to deliver. To improve supervisor effectiveness, reduce costs, improve knowledge transfer, reduce safety risk, and reduce rework, the industry needs to modernize how we train our workforce.
This session will focus on sharing several selected utilities examples of applying new learning methods and program design changes and discuss challenges and approaches. Scott Madden will also offer industry perspective on Training Modernization trends and benefits based on experience working with multiple operators on NXTGEN Training.
