How to make sure learning never stops - not even when the course is over. You've just sent the last group of students through a show-stopping training program that you spent months developing. Before learners dive into the training, ask them to write a brief statement about how they plan to use their new skills. This helps them focus on why they're taking the training and how it will affect their lives once the class is over. Follow up with email.
Email is a good way to informally keep in touch with graduates of a training program.
Ask them for specific job-related examples of how they're using their new skills, and use this feedback to identify ways you can improve the training. Talk to managers. Once someone has gone through training, bring the manager into the picture. Connect learners with mentors. Ask training graduates to be mentors for new learners.
