On-the-Job Training
EXPERT OJT™
Expert Workers Training Co-workers
Expert OJT is a structured on-the-job training system based on high
performance principles of expert workers training co-workers. Expert OJT
recognizes that workers can best be trained at the job site under real life
conditions. Expert OJT is a proven and award-winning program for delivering
low-cost and high-quality training.
Expert OJT builds self-sufficiency and worker ownership that reduces
dependency on outside training providers and materials. Put skill standards to
work by applying performance outcomes to your process-specific applications and
equipment. Train SMART, not hard!
TOPICS COVERED
- Plan a Structured On-the-Job Training (OJT) Project
- Develop Training Lists & Performance Expectations
- Prepare SMART Job Aids
- Develop OJT Lesson Plans
- Prepare Training & Curriculum Schedules
- Conduct Structured On-the-Job Training Sessions
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
- How to identify critical work activities to make sure OJT is directed at
essential skills that make a difference in your productivity.
- How to plan OJT by completing project planners and training schedules that
capture the most effective and efficient learning sequence.
- How to prepare SMART Job Aids that tell workers how to perform a task. Job
aids are actually used for training on-the-job and can serve as Standard
Operating Procedures (SOPs).
- How and when to write OJT Lesson Plans. Lesson Plans educate the worker
about the process and provide a structured learning experience to guarantee that
training is done correctly the first time.
- Techniques for presenting structured on-the-job training using state of the
art, one-to-one instructional methods.
- How to integrate OJT with classroom, video and CD-ROM learning to reinforce
critical skills and ensure teamwork in the training design.
WORKSHOP AGENDA
DAY ONE
Conduct an OJT Session
- Prepare trainees, materials and the training area.
- Identify potential learning problems or training obstacles and apply
solutions.
- Learn the technique of one-to-one training.
- Use job aids and lesson plans as training and evaluation tools.
- Ask Interactive Questions (IQ's) during and after task demonstrations.
- Meet Expert OJT presentation standards.
Develop a Master List of Training Work Activities
- Understand the relationships of skills, knowledge, and behaviors to job
tasks.
- Identify critical tasks that demonstrate essential skills and applied
knowledge.
- Write and sequence a job-specific training task list.
Write Job Aids
Job aids are work instructions written by practitioners that are used for
training and used on-the-job.
- Learn the SMART Job Aid format to communicate information quickly and
effectively.
- Apply the "look-away rule" to ensure that the job aid will
actually be used on-the-job.
- Learn "one-stop shopping" techniques to put information and
graphics where people need them.
- Learn when and when not to write job aids.
- Understand how job aids and training schedules apply to ISO/QS-9000
requirements.
- Write a process-specific job aid from your task list.
DAY TWO
Write Job Aids (continued)
Your instructor will work with you individually as you continue to design and
develop your job aid project from your plant, shop or organization.
Write OJT Lesson Plans
Job aids illustrate the "process used" to perform the work. OJT
lesson plans are used by the trainer to teach the job aid in order to
"educate" the worker about the process. This interaction provides a
well-rounded, structured and holistic learning experience (never just teaching a
"process").
- Learn when and when not to write lesson plans.
- Understand the relationship between the lesson plan and the job aid.
- Make sure that trainees get all the key information they need.
- Write a lesson plan for your job aid.
Prepare Training Schedules
- Learn how to sequence and mix OJT with non-OJT learning activities (i.e.,
videos, CD-ROM, training meetings, curriculum, orientations, self-study, etc.).
- Determine when and where each activity will be trained.
- Learn how to track and manage an OJT project.
BACK-HOME APPLICATION
After the workshop, a voluntary "homework" assignment can be done.
Take the job aid and lesson plan project developed in the workshop back to your
workplace and practice your presentation skills on a colleague. Upon submission
of your homework, a Certificate of Successful Completion will be sent to you.
