A training experience that i thought was very beneficial to me was when I first started working at Case Printing Solutions. When i first got there I immediately started with hands on training. Rather than watching a presentation or reading through manuals, they trained me by have me actually work with the equipment and was able to learn how to do each task on my own. Now if ran into a problem they would come over and guide me through it. In the begging, the employees who had been there a while showed me how to operate different machines and how to troubleshoot common problems, as well as what to do with each ink cartridge. I really enjoyed this training experience as it made it easier for me to understand what I was doing by allowing me to connect directly with the job I was learning. The week 6 lectures talked about how effective training should provide employees with opportunities to practice their skills and connect their training to the real task at hand. Which is exactly how my training went and why it allowed me to reach a point where they feel like i can work anytime and they can trust me to get things done proficiently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other hand I have taken a couple classes throughout my time at Oregon State that I felt like weren’t very beneficial in training me to succeed in the real world. These classes focused on long heavy lectures that required a lot of memorization and incorporated very little interactions and real hands on work. The material was important, however it was very difficult to remain engaged as there wasn’t many real world examples or opportunities to apply what we learned. Looking back I think these classes truly lacked what makes training effective, like active participation, feedback, and real life application. Our lectures this week spoke on how training should be meaningful and designed around how employees or students will actually utilize the information taught. I believe this is something those classes really lacked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Overall, I believe that these ideas connect well to what we read about in the UPS article. As it talked about how younger employees learned better though hands on simulations and realistic practices\/application rather than strictly lectures. Overall, I believe that the most effective training comes when people can actively participate, practice their skills, and understand how the information they are learning applies to real life scenarios. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
