Integrating Essential Skills Training into the Workplace
This is an overview of the process for developing essential skills training for the workplace. The authors break the process down into seven steps: performing a needs assessment; identifying training objectives; selecting a training technique; integrating training into the workplace; finalizing training plans; obtaining employee and management support; and performing an evaluation.
This document offers organizations a framework for determining whether gaps in essential skills are affecting performance and identifying the skills that require upgrading.
Sector councils are organizations that identify, research and coordinate initiatives that support the development and management of human resources in most industries in Canada.
