1. Topic #1

Consider a training course you have taken in the last several years. Which aspects of the training did you find most impactful (e.g., participant guide or other handouts, the learning activities, any pre/post work)? Why did you find these useful?

 In my career field training is a constant requirement. Paper guides are not commonly given to facilitate with training. The military has changed their online training to include activities that get the participant's mind working. I find activities like games useful because it engages the participant instead of hitting them with too much knowledge too fast. Our cyber awareness training has turned into a game with scorecards and recently I completed our sexual health general military training they designed that like a baseball game. The most important part of training is that it accomplishes the training objectives. Games and activities allow the participant to have fun while learning and that leads adults into wanting to learn. To teach adults it is best to create urgency and lead them to want to learn.  

 

2. Topic #2

What are competencies and why are they popular in training departments? How are competency models related to job analysis?

      Competencies are the ability to do something that is measurable. For example, as an Information Technician I must be able to create profiles. This ability is measureable because either I can complete the task or I cannot. Training departments use competencies to drive their training. Schreiner stated that, "Generally, identifying the competencies tied to each job is the first step in the job analysis process" (Schreiner, 2017). Those competencies are then ranked by needs, requirements, and preferences to be able to do the job that is being analyzed.

 

3. TOPIC #3

I found the reading in this week's assignment in thinking with concepts interesting.. According to Paul (n.d.) in the readings it talked about gaining command of concepts and ideas.  It mentioned that to help people understand what you are trying to say you need to use several methods.

One method was to ensure you gain attention first, for example by using their name. Using simple sentences and short phrases. Many people don't want to hear long speeches. Also with the same thought say exactly what you want the person to do speak louder, speaking slower also gets their attention Adding emphasis to key words can be helpful also. Lower the tone of the whole sentence, particularly at the end lets the person understand what you are saying. Keeping the persons attention and engaged is an effective training method.

1. Over the years, various training programs have been developed with each aiming to improve the competency of various audiences however the implementation of the right training method for the right audience is what separates the success or the failure of a training program. Computer simulation is the imitation of real-life issues on a computer to help to train employees and improve business awareness. Computer training simulations use computers to provide employees with training materials and situations that reflect real world situations. Computer simulation helps to provide a realistic training environment for the employees (Designing digitally, 2016). The audience that computer simulations serve bests is the managers and administrative staff. The reason for this is that computer simulation helps to develop business management skills for all those participating. This is because some computers simulations may provide a business environment where a company is facing stiff competition, the trainee gains skills on how to manage such a business and, therefore, gain critical management skills to improve in their organizations. The advantage of this training method is that it provides a real life scenario to the trainees as well as providing the employees with an opportunity to reinforce what the training is all about. The disadvantage of computer simulation training method is that it may be quite expensive for many organizations. Another disadvantage is that it lacks the dynamics of the real life situations even when solving real-life problems. Two metrics that can be used to evaluate the training program include the Kirkpatrick model and increased operational efficiency (Mindtools.com, 2016).

 

2. Organizations require training programs to improve the level of competency of the employees. HHS must carry out a training needs assessment to determine the training needs of its employees. Training needs assessments is a defined as a diagnostic tool that helps to identify the gaps in learning, skills or knowledge within the workforce (Hr-survey.com, 2016). The assessments will be critical to identify gaps in the organization that need to be addressed by a training program. The training needs assessments evaluates the employees of HHS and how they carry out their duties helping to determine key areas that require further training or development among the personnel (Hr-survey.com, 2016).

Training programs are aimed to improve the current operations of the employees and increase their knowledge or skills necessary to tackle everyday duties and it is, therefore, important to determine if the training programs are successful or not. One way that HHS can evaluate its training program is to use the Kirkpatrick four level evaluation model. The Kirkpatrick model is a tool that can help to evaluate the training program and where it meets the objectives set by the directors (Mindtools.com, 2016). The Kirkpatrick levels are identified as reaction, learning, behavior and results (Mindtools.com, 2016). The reaction factor evaluates how employees reacted to the training program. Learning phase evaluates what the employees have learned. The behavior phase evaluates how the behaviors of the employees have been affected by the training. The final stage evaluates the results of the training program. This will help to evaluate the effectiveness of the HHS training program.
