The Training Procedure

The Training Procedure– One of the better personnel programs to come out World War II was the Training within the Industry (TWI) programme of the War Manpower Commission. This was basically a supervisory training programme to make up for the shortage of civilian supervisory skills during the war.

One of the parts of this programme was the job instruction training course, which was concerned with how to teach? The training procedure discussed below is essentially an adoption of the job instruction training course, which has been proved to have a great value.

The important steps in training procedure are discussed below:

The job must be divided into logical parts so that each can be taught at a proper time without the trainee losing plan. For each part one should have in mind the desired technique of, instruction, that is, whether a particular point is best taught by illustration, demonstration or explanation.

• Have the aptitude and abilities to teach,
• Have willingness towards the profession,
• Have a pleasing personality and capacity for leadership, v. have the knowledge of teaching principles and methods.
• be a permanent student, in the sense that he should equip himself with the latest concepts .and knowledge.

Preparing the Trainee: As in interviewing, the first step in training is to attempt to place the trainee at ease most people are somewhat nervous when approaching an unfamiliar task. Though the instructor may have executed this training procedure, many times he or she never forgets its newness to the trainee. The quality of empathy is a mark of the good instructor.
