Job instructional training was developed during World War II to prepare civilians with little experience for jobs in the industrial sector producing military equipment. It is very important to carefully select employees that will be training other staff members and to prepare them for this job responsibility.
Some employees have no experience in training, no time to do it, and no desire to participate.
Figure 1 is a job aid to assist employees who will serve as job instructional trainers. A job instructional training checklist is an effective tool to ensure that training is thorough and complete. The first step is to identify the task associated with a job. Employees can participate in this process by completing a form such as the one in Figure 2 . This form and the observations of supervisors can be used to develop Job Instructional Training Checklists, such as the one in Figure 3 .
