Train the Trainer: How to Create and Facilitate Employee Training

Most organizations train employees because they want to improve job performance. They want training that’s both effective and efficient — well-structured sessions, based on proven adult learning principles and delivered with impact for leaning that lasts.

But all too often, employees sit through hours of training and then revert to their old habits as soon as they return to their work. It’s as if the training never happened…and it leaves everyone frustrated.

That’s why we developed this LIVE, virtual Train the Trainer workshop. It provides the skills you need to design and deliver both in-person and virtual training based on your learners’ needs — engaging, interactive training that sticks.
