Trainings for anything be it school, work, or a hobby can be very hit or miss depending on how they are ran. For me an effective training usually involves hands-on examples so I can visually see how something is done. I don’t usually work the best without an example first. So a training that I have had that I found very beneficial was my drivers ed class I took when I was 16. They were very thorough and took it slow both in the classroom and when we would go out and drive. I think the hands-on examples and group setting really cultivated a good learning environment and it made it so something that could potentially be dangerous like driving ended up not being scary and I felt confident in my skills. On the flip side a training I’ve had that wasn’t that effective are my monthly work trainings that are sent online and basically are comprised of a couple short videos followed by a quiz. There is nothing hands-on or that really makes you care about the topic and you can finish them in about 5 minutes without even really learning anything. I think this is not an effective way to hold trainings as it doesn’t really stick with someone and makes them feel more like a chore than something useful. It also takes the human aspect out of training which can help someone learn even more. Overall, they don’t feel that helpful and seems to be more of a checklist sort of deal where the company does it just to be able to say they do monthly trainings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
