This is a good training activity for experienced employees. Projects can be chosen which help solve problems or otherwise improve the operation.

Without proper introduction to the project and its purpose, trainees may think they are doing somebody else s work. Also, if they do not have an interest in the project or there is no immediate impact on their own jobs, it will be difficult to obtain and maintain their interest.

Trainees can easily get side-tracked and may move slower than the trainer desires.
