To maintain consistency statewide, Learning Services and Organizational Wellness, DPS, will review and certify agencies' lead worker training programs. A. Content and Process Topics - Lead worker training must include the modules identified in Section II of the Guidelines. These subjects should be presented with the most recently approved materials, delivery methods, and participant interaction to ensure maximum learning transfer to influence job behavior. Format - The process of the training is as important as the content. Lead worker training should be structured to include ample time for the practice and application of the skills being taught.
Practice enables the participants to use the skills on the job.
