Best course I ve attended this week. The greatest criticism that could be made about training in American industry is that it fails to do this job in any systematic way. Examine most industrial training courses and you will find that at least half of their content does not seem to be directed specifically to any job performance. The On-Site Training method is simple and elegant. And they give the supervisors precise standards for directing the evaluation and training effort.
Nothing seems left to guess, nor does the effort require unnecessary time or awkward scheduling.
Great interest is being created in such things as the use of computer-based training and interactive video disks. Yet these devices are frequently being used to deliver training where they are simply not useful. But this is not so with Penelec Generation Training. In our observations of the delivery of generation training at Penelec, fancy new delivery schemes are required to first prove themselves. Computers seem to be used in training only to the extent that they reasonably support simulation of job tasks.
