Train The Trainer
Our goal is to help you become a confident and inspiring trainer, ready to guide and mentor the next generation of skilled professionals. Use this workbook as a resource to enhance your training skills and make a lasting impact on your apprentices.
A workshop for employers
After 35 years in the training business, we at BCITO feel we have a pretty good idea of the sorts of things that will best help trainers achieve good outcomes for their apprentices and their business. This workshop will cover a range of things that trainers typically want to know how to do, such as, how to communicate with an apprentice who does not appear motivated to learn.
Introduction to Training
Learn the difference between training and development, and why understanding both helps you set your apprentice up for long-term success.
The Role of the Trainer
Explore what makes a great trainer—someone who leads, communicates well and brings out the best in their apprentices.
Creating a Positive Training Environment
Find out how to build a positive and supportive environment where your apprentice can learn, ask questions, and feel safe to grow.
