Training in the Workplace Workshop Series

4 part module -3 hrs each

Within the tourism and hospitality industry, the bulk of training takes place at work, on the job and involves a lot of one-on-one training. Rather than focusing on what gets taught, a good trainer and coach will focus on what gets learned. In order to do that, a trainer and coach must be able to: determine what needs to be learned; determine the best way for the trainee to learn it; and provide follow-up to ensure the trainee has learned what needed to be learned. On completion participants receive a certificate of recognition.
