The CREW investigators in this study have focused on two distinct areas. Based on their findings, CREW researchers have recommended technology for use in future sessions. The second area is the use of apprentice learning as a means for technology transfer.
Companies tend to transfer new technology by hiring new graduates.
In this case study, a company has brought in a new technology by having its people deeply trained in a new method, one which involves customization to the company. The trainees build a prototype piece of software useful to the company. This method not only motivates the trainees but convinced the company that the technology is relevant to them.
